Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the

camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best

exposure.

Slave Flash

A wireless flash that is not connected to the camera by a synchronization cord. It

flashes in phase with the flash on the camera and can be used for lighting

techniques, such as changing the way shadows are cast on a subject.

Sleep Mode

A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep

mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any

button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).

Synchro Terminals

TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor

receptor in the camera as it passes through the lens. A signal is then sent to adjust

the external flash intensity.
