brightness.
Using the Flash in c Mode
• You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when
you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.

• Slow-speed Sync slows down the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction
function or turn off the Shake Reduction function and use a tripod to avoid
camera shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.
• Slow-speed Sync can also be performed with an external flash.
