Shooting procedures are the same as for the
mode (p. 33).
When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity
and using the flash, there is more of a
chance of overexposure the closer you are
to the subject.
When shooting in any mode other than
mode, the flash fires with automatic
adjustments.
The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire
and will be followed by the main flash.
The pre-flash is used by the camera to
obtain the subject's exposure data so
that the main flash can be set to the
optimal intensity for the shot.
In mode, the flash fires with the
manually set adjustments.
The fastest shutter speed for flash
synchronization is 1/500 second. The
camera automatically resets the shutter
speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed
is selected.
In mode, the [Flash Output] option
can be changed (p. 86).
