When the shutter speed is set to 2 sec.
Slow synchronization (1st curtain) / Red-eye reduction flash
!
SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function to achieve
red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this function allows you to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes to shooting is long in
2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction. Hence, only 1st curtain
synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash
#
The flash fires regardless of the light conditions.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the
subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves),
in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color
shift produced by artificial lighting (especially
fluorescent light).
Flash off
$
The flash does not fire.
Even in this mode, the flash can be used as an AF illuminator when it is raised.

Manual flash
This allows the built-in flash to output a fixed amount of light. To shoot with manual flash, set the
f value on the lens based on the distance to the subject.
x Notes
When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject
against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this
case, use the optional FL-50 or FL-36 external flash and shoot in the Super FP flash mode.
