Used in low-light conditions and to

reduce shadows under direct sunlight.

To reduce the red-eye effect with flash

photographs of people and animals

Flash fires at the end of long exposures.

The flash mode can be changed in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p.

80). For the flash to fire, the unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the

selected mode regardless of the amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the

camera sensitivity is automatically set at ISO 200. This setting can be changed using

the function dial (p. 40). The auto-white-balance setting will give priority to the flash’s

color temperature. If manual white-balance settings are used, priority is given to the

active setting’s color temperature (p. 59).

Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light

conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye.

The camera will fire a pre-flash before the main flash to contract the pupils of the

subject’s eyes.

Fill-flash can be used as the main or

supplementary light. In low-light

conditions, the flash will act as the

main source of illumination and

overpower the ambient light. Under

strong sunlight or in backlit situations,

the fill-flash can reduce harsh

shadows.

FILL FLASH

RED-EYE REDUCTION

Rear flash sync is used with long exposures to make

trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather than

proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent if the

shutter speed is too fast and stops the subject’s

motion.

When the shutter is released, a pre-flash will fire.

This pre-flash does not exposure the subject, but is

used in the calculation of the flash exposure. The

flash will fire again just before the shutter closes.

REAR FLASH SYNC

Slow shutter sync can be set in P and A exposure modes (p. 46). In low-light conditions, this

flash mode controls the shutter to increase the ambient or background exposure. When pho-

tographing a subject outside at night, the camera and flash exposure will be balanced to bring

out the details in the background. Because shutter speeds can be longer than usual, the use of

a tripod is recommended.

1. Set the camera to the P or A exposure mode (p. 40).

2. Set “AE hold” or “AE toggle” in the custom 1 section of the recording mode menu (p. 80).

3. Frame the subject on the monitors.

4. Press the AF/AEL button to lock the exposure.

5. Press the shutter-release button to lock the focus. Compose the image on the monitors.

6. Press the shutter-release button all the way down to take the picture.
