Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash !SLOW
While using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this
function to achieve red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night
scene, this function allows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the
time from emitting pre-flashes to shooting is long in 2nd curtain
synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction. Hence, only 1st
curtain synchronization setting is available.
Fill-in flash #
The flash fires regardless of the light
conditions. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject's
face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by
artificial lighting (especially fluorescent
light).
• When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When
shooting a subject against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the
background may be overexposed. In this case, use the optional FL-50 or FL-
36 external flash and shoot in the Super FP flash mode.
Flash off $
The flash does not fire.
Even in this mode, the flash can be used as an AF illuminator when it is
raised. g"AF illuminator" (P. 70)
Flash synchronization speed
Shutter speed can be changed when the built-in flash fires. g"Speed
synchronization" (P. 109)
