Changing Shooting Functions If you set the mode dial to 6 and then to G mode, you can change the settings on the 4 tab (p. 46). Before attempting to shoot using a function explained in this chapter in modes other than G mode, check if the function is available in those modes (pp. 158 - 159). Using the Slow Synchro You can use this to shoot people and main subjects at the appropriate exposure, and the shutter speed is lowered so that both the subject and the background appear at the proper brightness. ● Select [Flash Settings], then press the m button. ● Press the op buttons or turn the  dial to select [Slow Synchro], then press the qr buttons to select [On]. • Attach a tripod to the camera, as the shutter speed is slow. You are recommended to shoot with the [IS Mode] set to [Off] (p. 145). • Even if the flash fires, ensure that the subject does not move until the shutter sound ends.
