Selecting the Shooting Mode (Cont’d)
Fill-In
- Use this mode when a shadow falls on the subject’s face due to shade
or artificial lighting, or when taking a picture against the light.
- Regardless of the brightness of the surroundings, the flash will always
fire.
Slow-Sync
- Use this mode when shooting a subject with a background of a night
or evening view.
- The flash will fire with a slow shutter speed.
• Shutter speeds will be slower, so use a tripod to prevent shaking.
• If the subject is moving, the picture will be blurred.
Off (Flash Override)
- Use this mode for places (such as a museum) where flash is prohibit-
ed, or when taking a picture of a night view, or taking a picture using
indoor lighting.
- The flash will not come on even when it is dark.
• Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower in the dark.
• If the red LED comes on when the shutter button is pressed half-way, this is
a warning that the lighting is not sufficient and the resulting picture will be
dark.
