General information
When using the A or S setting together with flash, the exposure
requirements of the camera will dominate which might produce
slow shutter speeds indoors, for example, requiring the use
of a tripod. If P is selected instead, a shutter speed of 1/60
or faster is automatically chosen by the camera enabling the
camera to be hand held.
When using flash close up or when using larger aperture
settings, remember that the flash unit's output has a specific
minimum duration which might still be too great for correct
exposure. Read the back's output specifications for further
information regarding any potential restrictions.
Rear sync is a useful feature used either for effect or to produce
a more 'natural' look when combining long exposures involving
light trails and flash.
To change the balance between flash output and camera
exposure requirements to produce a variety of effects, use the
exposure compensation function. For various long exposure
effects use the sync function.
