Flash Sync Mode Features
Five flash sync modes are available with the F65/F65D.
: Front-Curtain Sync (Normal Sync)
Set the flash sync mode to Front-Curtain Sync for normal
flash photography. The camera's shutter speed is
automatically set between 1/90 to 1/60 sec. for flash
photography in
(AUTO mode) or
1/90 to 1/15 sec. in
(Landscape mode), and to 1/90
sec. in Auto-Multi Program, Aperture-Priority Auto,
(Close-Up mode) or
(Sports Continuous mode). (With optional Speedlight
SB-26, SB-25 and SB-24, set the Speedlight's sync mode selector to NORMAL.)
: Slow Sync
Slow Sync can be used in
Night Scene mode, Auto-
Multi Program or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode.
Normally, the camera's shutter speed is automatically set
to 1/90 sec. for flash photography. However, for shooting
nighttime scenes, Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed
(down to maximum of 30 sec., 1 sec. in
mode) to bring out background details using all of the available light.
: Rear-Curtain Sync
Rear-Curtain Sync can be used in Auto-Multi Program,
Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual
exposure mode. Normally, the Speedlight fires at the end
of the exposure, turning available light into a stream of
light that follows the flash-illuminated moving subject.
When Rear-Curtain Sync is set in Auto-Multi Program or
Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync is
automatically set. (With an optional Speedlight SB-26, 25 and 24, set the
Speedlight's sync mode selector to REAR.)

Night Scene
: Red-Eye Reduction
The Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1 sec.
before the flash fires in order to reduce the red-eye effect
in photos of people or animals. Red-Eye Reduction can
be used in
AUTO mode, Vari-Program (except for
Night Scene), Auto-Multi Program, Shutter-Priority Auto,
Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode. (With
optional Speedlight SB-80DX, SB-28/28DX, SB-27 and SB-26, the Red-Eye
Reduction lamp of the Speedlight lights.)
: Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync
Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync can be used in
Multi Program or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode. Red-Eye Reduction and
Slow Sync mode are simultaneously set. (With optional Speedlight SB-80DX, SB-28/
28DX, SB-27 and SB-26, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp of the Speedlight lights.)
: Flash Cancel
Flash Cancel can only be selected in
Cancel when you want to cancel the flash and have the photograph exposed only
with the natural light. Flash Cancel cannot be set when the built-in Speedlight is in
the up position. Set the Flash Cancel before lightly pressing the shutter release
button. (The built-in Speedlight is cancelled but when optional Speedlights are
attached, flash is not cancelled.)
To cancel Flash Cancel, turn the power switch off or select another exposure mode.
NOTE: Flash Sync Modes
• In Front-Curtain Sync, shutter speed shifts automatically to 1/90 sec. when the
shutter speed is set to faster than 1/90 sec. in Shutter-Priority Auto or Manual
exposure mode.
• When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is selected,
the Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires. Do
not move the camera or let the subject move until the shutter is released.
(Red-Eye Reduction is not recommended in shooting situations where shutter
release is your top priority.)
• With some lenses, light from the Red-Eye Reduction lamp may not reach the
subject's eyes. In some cases, the red-eye effect may not be sufficiently
reduced due to the location of subject.
• With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera
steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a tripod
is recommended.
