Taking Better Pictures

Using the Flash (continued)

Off (Flash Override)

When you do not want the flash to fire even in the dark, close the flash.

Use this mode in situations where flash photography is prohibited, such

as art museums and live stage performances, or when taking pictures

in twilight or of night scenes.

The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light

situations. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness

caused by camera movement.

In this mode, the flash will fire automatically when the photo is taken.

The shutter will stay open for 1/2 second. This setting is most

appropriate for night view photography. The use of a tripod is

recommended to prevent blurriness caused by camera movement.

Red-eye Reduction + Slow Sync

The combination of these two modes works best for taking pictures of

people at night.

The red-eye reduction flash (p.65) and slow sync flash (p.66) both

operate at the same time.

The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light

conditions. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness
