Shooting With Slow Synchro; Adjusting The Flash Exposure Compensation - Canon PowerShot S95 User Manual

Shooting with Slow Synchro

You can make the main subject, such as people, appear bright by having the
camera provide the appropriate illumination with the flash. At the same time,
you can use a slow shutter speed to brighten the background that the light
from the flash cannot reach.
Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and
blurring the image. Additionally, you should set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when
shooting with a tripod (p. 165).

Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation

Just like with Exposure Compensation (p. 74), you can adjust the exposure
±2 stops in 1/3-stop increments when using the flash.
Safety FE
The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the
flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene.
However, if you press the n button to display the 4 tab and set [Safety FE]
to [Off] in [Flash Settings], the shutter speed and aperture value will not
automatically adjust.
