*1 Shutter speed can be prolonged up to 30 sec. in Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync or
Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync. In Auto FP High-Speed Sync, shutter speed is
controlled at up to 1/8000 sec.
*2 In Auto FP High-Speed Sync, shutter speed is controlled at up to 1/8000 sec.
*3 Flash shooting distance range depends on the ISO speed of the film in use and
aperture setting. In Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode, set the
aperture according to the flash shooting distance range table provided with the
Speedlight.
The camera determines background exposure from the selected shutter speed so
over- or underexposure indication tends to appear more frequently in Shutter-
Priority Auto and Aperture-Priority Auto exposure modes. To bring out the
background exposure, set the shutter speed so the electronic analog display
indicates a correct exposure in Shutter-Priority Auto or Manual exposure mode.
Select Slow Sync in Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority exposure mode.
