Shooting Features Available Flash Modes U Auto The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting. • The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately after the setting is made. V Auto with red-eye reduction Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash (A61). W Off The flash does not fire. • Available when an external flash unit (optional) is attached. • We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark surroundings. X Fill flash The flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. S Manual Fill flash fires at the flash output set for the built-in flash or an optional flash unit whose flash output can be set on the camera. • Select the flash output from w (full flash), S1/2, S1/4, S1/8, S 1/16, S1/32, S1/64 and S1/128 (only when an optional flash unit is used). For example, when S1/16 is selected, the flash output is 1/16 of the full flash. Y Slow sync Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. Fill flash fires to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting. Z Rear-curtain sync z Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light behind moving subjects. Commander mode The camera's built-in flash emits low-level flashes and an off-camera optional flash unit is controlled wirelessly as a remote flash (E60). The Speedlight fires according to the Commander mode options set in the shooting menu (A73). • Not available when an optional flash unit is attached. • Can be used when A, B, C, D, E, F or N mode is selected. 60
