(13) SLOW-SPEED-SYNC SHOOTING
Purpose
It is possible to balance the exposure of a foreground
subject against a dimly-lit background by using the
flash to properly expose the foreground subject and a
slow-shutter-speed to expose the low light background.
How to set
With the Shutter-Priority AE Mode set
1. Set the camera's exposure mode to the Shutter-
Priority AE Mode.
2. Set the desired shutter speed.
• If the aperture in the viewfinder blinks, a correct expo¬
sure will not be obtained for the background. Adjust
the shutter speed until the blinking stops.
3. Depress the flash-pop up button to activate the built-
in flash.
4. Take a picture.
• In the slow-speed-sync shooting, use of a tripod is rec¬
ommended to prevent camera shake.
How to set
With the Metered Manual Mode set
1. Depress the flash pop-up button to activate the built-
in flash.
2. Set the camera's exposure mode to the Metered
Manual Mode.
3. Select an appropriate shutter speed(slower than
1/100 of second) and aperture combination for a
correct exposure.
4- Release the shutter.
