Flash modes
Description
This mode is recommended in most
situations. In modes P and A, shutter
speed will automatically be set to values
between 1/200 s (or 1/4000 s with auto FP
high-speed sync) and 1/60 s.
Use for portraits. The red-eye reduction
lamp on the camera or flash unit lights
before the flash fires, reducing "red-eye".
･ A flash unit with red-eye reduction is
required.
･ The desired results may not be
achieved if the subject or camera
moves before the shutter is released
(this setting is not recommended with
moving subjects or in other situations
requiring a quick shutter response).
As for "fill flash", except that shutter speed
slows automatically to capture
background lighting at night or under
low light.
･ Note that photos may be prone to
blurring due to camera shake at slow
shutter speeds.
･ Use of a tripod is recommended.
