cannot be selected and/or is automatically cancelled or ignored (see camera's manual).
 The REAR mode is set on the camera (see camera's manual).

11.4 Slow synchronisation (SLOW)

A slow exposure (SLOW) gives added prominence to the image background at lower ambient
light levels. This is achieved by adjusting the shutter speed to the ambient light. Accordingly,
shutter speeds that are slower than the flash sync speed (e.g., shutter speeds up to 30 sec.)
are automatically adjusted by the camera. Slow synchronisation is activated automatically on
some camera models in connection with certain camera programs (e.g., a night shot program,
etc.), or it can be set on the camera (see the camera's manual). No settings are necessary on
the flash unit, nor is there any display for this mode.

Slow synchronisation SLOW is set on the camera (see camera's manual)! Use a tripod
when shooting with slow shutter speeds to avoid blurred images!

12 Triggering control (auto-flash)

On various cameras the flash will not be fired when the prevailing light is sufficient for an
exposure. When the camera shutter release is depressed, no flash exposure is triggered.
In various cameras the triggering control only works in the full program mode or "P" program or
must be activated on the camera (see camera's manual).

13 Pre-flash function for red-eye reduction

The red-eye effect occurs when the person being photographed is looking for more or less
straight into the camera, the ambient lighting is poor, and the flash unit is mounted close to
the camera. The flash unit then illuminates the interior of
Some camera models have a pre-flash function for reducing the red-eye effect.
One or more pre-flashes induce the pupils to contract more, thereby reducing the red-eye
effect.
