Characteristics
AUTO flash
Speedlight automatically fires when the subject is dark and
the built-in Speedlight is released. Speedlight does not fire if
the subject is adequately illuminated even when the built-in
Speedlight is released.
AUTO flash with
Red-eye
reduction
Reduces the "Red-eye effect" of flash photography. The Red-
eye reduction lamp lights before the main flash.
Anytime flash
Select this mode to fire the Speedlight regardless of the
subject's brightness. Speedlight can also be effective in
daylight when light is coming from behind the subject.
SLOW sync
Both your main subject and background can be recorded
naturally in twilight or nighttime. The shutter stays open for
the same time as if Speedlight was not being used to
illuminate the background. The Speedlight fires to give a
clear defined foreground or subject image.
