The table below shows the shutter speed and aperture settings that will

To obtain a correct flash exposure, the flash output will be set automatically
(autoflash exposure) to match the manually-set aperture. The shutter speed
will be set automatically between 1/250 sec. - 30 sec. to suit the scene's
brightness.
In low light, the main subject is exposed with the auto flash metering, and
the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. Both
the subject and background look properly exposed with a touch of
atmosphere (automatic slow-speed flash sync). If you are handholding the
camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is
recommended.
To prevent a slow shutter speed, under [z1: Flash control], set [Flash
sync. speed in Av mode] to [1/250-1/60sec. auto] or [1/250 sec. (fixed)]
(p.236).
