A Flash Modes The flash modes listed on the previous page may combine one or more of the following settings, as shown by the flash mode icon: • AUTO (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is back lit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway and fires as required. • j (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. Red-eye reduction lamp lights before flash fires, reducing "red-eye." • j (off): Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is back-lit. • SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use to include background lighting in portraits. • REAR (rear-curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating a stream of light behind moving light sources (below at right). If this icon is not displayed, flash will fire as the shutter opens (front-curtain sync; the effect this produces with moving light sources is shown below at left). z Front-curtain sync Rear-curtain sync A Choosing a Flash Mode The flash mode can also be selected by pressing the M button and rotating the command dial (in P, S, A, M, and 0 modes, raise the flash before using the M button to choose the flash mode).
