WWW.LENSINC.NET Flash Sync Mode Features • Five flash sync modes are available with the F100. Set the flash sync mode by rotating the Main-Command Dial while pressing the flash sync mode button. ∞: Front-Curtain Sync Set the flash sync mode to Front-Curtain Sync for normal flash photography. (With SB-26, SB-25 and SB-24, set the Speedlight's sync mode selector to NORMAL.) ¤: Slow Sync Normally, the camera's shutter speed is automatically set to 1/60 to 1/250 sec. for flash photography in Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode. However, for shooting nighttime scenes, Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed (down to 30 sec.) to bring out background details using all of the available light. 80 ‹: Rear-Curtain Sync The Speedlight fires at the end of the exposure, turning available light into a stream of light that follows the flash-illuminated moving subject. (With SB-26, 25 and 24, set the Speedlight's sync mode selector to REAR.) When Rear-Curtain Sync is set in Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync is automatically set. ›: Red-Eye Reduction The Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires in order to reduce the red-eye effect in photos of people or animals. (With SB-80DX, SB-28/ 28DX, SB-27 or SB-26 only.) ⁄: Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync Red-Eye Reduction and Slow Sync mode are simultaneously set. (With SB-80DX, SB-28/28DX, SB-27 or SB-26 only.) Set the exposure mode to Programmed Auto or Aperture-Priority Auto. NOTE: Flash Sync Modes • When Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync is selected, Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approx. 1 sec. before the flash fires. Do not move the camera or let the subject move until the shutter is released. (Red-Eye Reduction is not recommended in shooting situations where shutter release is your top priority.) • With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a tripod is recommended. • Rear-Curtain Sync cannot be used with a studio flash system since the correct synchronization cannot be obtained. 81 Flash
