Flash off (
$
)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in an art
museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-
looking twilight or night scene.
• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by
camera movement.

Slow Synchronization (
#

#
SLOW2
H
SLOW)
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally,
when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to
prevent camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background,
fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization
flash allows both a slow shutter speed for the background and a flash for the
subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera
by using a tripod. Otherwise, camera movement may cause the picture to be
blurred.
1st curtain (front curtain)
#
SLOW1
Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter
fully opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the
flash always fires. The slow synchronization factory default setting is
#
SLOW1.
