(13) DAYLIGHT-SYNC SHOOTING 73 Without Daylight-Sync Purpose In daylight conditions, when a portrait picture is taken with a person's face cast in shadow, discharging the flash will eliminate the shadow. Daylight-sync photography is obtained in the same manner as the normal flash photography, so you simply depress the shutter release but- ton. r • If the background is too bright, it may be overexposed. • When taking a daylight-sync photograph in the Smart Picture Mode or Picture Mode, the flash may not dis- charge even if the flash is in the popped-up position. Before shooting, confirm that [ 5A ] is not displayed on the LCD panel. With Daylight-Sync
