Shooting With Slow Synchro - Canon Powershot SX120 IS User Manual

Shooting with Slow Synchro

You can make the main subject, such as people, appear bright by having the
camera provide the appropriate illumination with the flash. At the same time,
you can use a slow shutter speed to brighten the background that the light
from the flash cannot reach.
Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and
blurring the image. It is recommended to set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when
shooting with a tripod (p. 121).
