Reference-Flash Photography Flash Sync Modes The camera supports the following flash sync modes: Flash sync mode Front-curtain sync Red-eye reduction Red-eye reduction with slow sync Slow sync Rear-curtain sync Description Recommended for most situations. In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto modes, shutter speed will automatically be set to values between / and s to s when using optional Speedlight with Auto FP High-Speed Sync; 160). Red-eye reduction pre-flash lights for approximately one second before main flash. Pupils in subject's eyes to contract, reducing "red-eye" effect sometimes caused by flash. Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. This mode is only available in programmed auto and aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake. Flash is combined with speeds as slow as 30 s to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light. This mode is only available in programmed auto and aperture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake. In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating effect of a stream of light behind moving objects. In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto, slow rear-curtain sync is used to capture both subject and background. Use of tripod is recommended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake. Red-Eye Reduction Some lenses may block the red-eye reduction lamp, preventing the subject from seeing the lamp and interfering with red-eye reduction. Studio Flash Systems Rear-curtain sync can not be used with studio flash systems, as the correct synchronization can not be obtained. Compatible Lenses See the Appendix for information on the lenses that can be used with the built-in flash. e3-Built-in Flash ( 161) Flash mode can be selected from TTL, Manual, Repeating Flash, and Commander mode. When fired at full power in Manual mode, the built-in flash has a Guide Number of 13/42 (ISO 100, m/ft). In Repeating Flash mode, the flash fires repeatedly while the shutter is open. The flash output, number of flashes, and interval between flashes can be selected from a menu. Commander mode can be used for wireless off-camera flash photography with optional SB-800, SB-600, or SB-R200 Speedlights. 77

Reference—Flash Photography
Flash Sync Modes
The camera supports the following flash sync modes:
Flash sync mode
Description
Front-curtain sync
Recommended for most situations.
In programmed auto and ap-
erture-priority auto modes, shutter speed will automatically be set
to values between / and / s (/ to /, s when using optional
Speedlight with Auto FP High-Speed Sync;
160).
Red-eye reduction
Red-eye reduction pre-flash lights for approximately one second
before main flash.
Pupils in subject’s eyes to contract, reducing
“red-eye” effect sometimes caused by flash.
Red-eye reduction
with slow sync
Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync.
This mode is only
available in programmed auto and aperture-priority auto expo-
sure modes.
Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring
caused by camera shake.
Slow sync
Flash is combined with speeds as slow as 30 s to capture both
subject and background at night or under dim light.
This mode
is only available in programmed auto and aperture-priority auto
exposure modes.
Use of tripod is recommended to prevent blur-
ring caused by camera shake.
Rear-curtain sync
In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, flash fires just
before the shutter closes, creating effect of a stream of light be-
hind moving objects.
In programmed auto and aperture-priority
auto, slow rear-curtain sync is used to capture both subject and
background.
Use of tripod is recommended to prevent blurring
caused by camera shake.
Red-Eye Reduction
Some lenses may block the red-eye reduction lamp, preventing the subject from seeing
the lamp and interfering with red-eye reduction.
Studio Flash Systems
Rear-curtain sync can not be used with studio flash systems, as the correct synchronization
can not be obtained.
