Menu item details
Flash Off:
The flash does not operate.
Autoflash:
The flash works in dark environments or when shooting towards bright light.
Fill-flash:
The flash works every time you trigger the shutter.
Slow Sync.:
The flash works every time you trigger the shutter. Slow sync shooting allows you to shoot a clear image of both the
subject and the background by slowing the shutter speed.
Rear Sync.:
The flash works right before the exposure is completed every time you trigger the shutter. Rear sync shooting allows you
to shoot a natural image of the trail of a moving subject such as a moving car or a walking person.
Wireless:
Using a wireless flash creates a shading effect that gives the subject a more 3D appearance than when using an
attached flash.
This mode is effective when you attach a remote control-compatible external flash (sold separately) to the product, and
shoot with a wireless flash (sold separately), placed away from the product.
If the camera's system software (firmware) version is 3.00 or later, set the [Wireless] function by selecting MENU →
(Camera Settings1) → [Wireless Flash].
Note
The default setting depends on the shooting mode.
Some [Flash Mode] settings are not available, depending on the shooting mode.
