[Z] Slow Synchro
With this option, the flash fires to increase the brightness of the main
subject (such as people) while the camera shoots at a slow shutter speed to
increase the brightness of the background that is out of the flash range.
Even after the flash fires, ensure that the main subject does not
move until the shutter sound is finished playing.
Mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still
and prevent camera shake.
