Flash mode Ⅵ Slow synchronization + Red-eye reduction flash SLOW This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the red- eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night background. A normal flash might make the person's eyes red, but this mode lets you capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same time. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available. Ⅵ Fill-in flash The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). Note ● When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject against a bright background with the flash, the background may be overexposed. In this case, set the flash (FL-50) to the Super FP flash mode.
