Shooting a Subject in Daylight Shadow (Daylight Synchro) Even with sufficient light on the subject (when the flash warning is not blinking in the viewfinder), you can set the flash to fire and reduce daylight shadows on the subject and take a beautiful picture. When the background is brighter than the subject, the subject could become dark or the background could wash out. When you see shadows on your subject in strong daylight, use the fill-in flash mode to reduce the shadows. You can also use the fill-in flash on a subject which could appear too dark against a strong backlight. In such situations, if you use the fill-in flash at high noon to brighten the subject you can capture both the subject and the background clearly. In either case, you can achieve a catch light effect by the reflection of the light in the subject's eyes to enliven the appearance of your subject. Selecting a Flash Mode (© 86) If you use the flash, both the subject and the background can be shot with the correct exposure.
