Using the Slow-speed Sync Flash

You can use Slow-speed Sync in . (Night Scene Portrait) of H mode
or b mode when shooting portraits with the sunset in the background.
Both the portrait and the background are captured beautifully. G and H
can be used in e or c mode.

either set [Shake Reduction] to Q (On), or set it to R (Off) and use a tripod.
Note that the picture will also blur if the subject moves.
• Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.
