Using the Flash (continued)
Off (Flash Override)
When you do not want the flash to fire even in the dark, close the flash.
Use this mode in situations where flash photography is prohibited, such
as art museums and live stage performances, or when taking pictures
in twilight or of night scenes.
The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light
situations. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness
caused by camera movement.

Slow Sync
For taking pictures at night, especially night views.
In this mode, the flash will fire automatically when the photo is taken.
The shutter will stay open for 1/2 second. This setting is most
appropriate for night view photography. The use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent blurriness caused by camera movement.
Red-eye Red Slow Sync
The combination of these two modes works best for taking pictures of
people at night.
The red-eye reduction flash (p.65) and slow sync flash (p.66) both
operate at the same time.
The shutter speed automatically slows down to 1/2 second in low-light
conditions. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurriness
caused by camera movement.
