Shooting a Subject Against a Night Scene Background (Slow Synchronization) When you shoot a subject with a flash against a night background, you can use slow 3 shutter speeds to achieve a variety of artistic effects. This technique is called slow synchronization. Set the mode dial to P or A. Press and hold down the flash mode button and then turn the main dial or sub dial until you see the in the control panel. In the slow synchronization mode, the shutter speed can be set for up to 2 seconds. With the flash mode set to Auto, the background of a night scene may not be exposed correctly. Note • We recommend using a tripod to avoid camera shake. • The shutter remains open even after the flash fires. Ask the subject not to move immediately after the flash has fired, and then take the picture. • Do not touch or move the camera again until the shutter closes and the subject can be seen through the viewfinder or the card access lamp starts blinking. Selecting a flash mode (© 86) With the flash mode set for Slow Synchro, you can achieve correct exposure of both the subject and the background of a night scene.
