Taking A Picture At A Slow Shutter Speed - ^O - Pentax IQZoom80G Operating Manual

TAKING A PICTURES AT A SLOW SHUTTER SPEED
Slow Shutter
Speed (Flash'
OFF)
Depress the mode
button until the
[®n] symbol
appears on the LCD panel. In this mode, the
flash does not discharge, and a picture is taken
at a slow shutter speed up to approx. 1/3 sec¬
ond. Use it in places where the flash photogra¬
phy is prohibited, such as in theaters and
museums. Furthermore, this mode is also use¬
ful for a natural existing light effect in low am¬
bient photography.
Slow-Speed-
Synchro Shooting
(Flash-On)
Depress the mode
button to set the
slow-shutter-sync
mode until the [V Q] symbol appears on the
LCD panel. It is possible to photograph sub¬
jects and background in a balanced way/by
using the built-in flash to properly expiose the
foreground subject and a slow-speed to expose
the low light background.
Notes:
• When shooting in low light, the shutter speed
gets slower, and camera shake is likely to
blur your picture. Use of a tripod is recom¬
mended.
• Make sure you are within the flash effective
range even when you use the built-in flash as
a fill-in flash in daylight. See page 13.
