Using the shooting functions Slow Sync (Shooting the dark background with flash) When you shoot a portrait outdoors at night with a dark background, a normal use of flash will capture a clear image of the subject, but the background is out of flash range and will be too dark. In such a case, slow sync shooting (shooting with the flash and a slow shutter speed) allows you to capture a clear image of both the subject and the background. Flash AEL (AE lock) button 1 Pull up the built-in flash. 2 Shoot with the AEL (AE lock) button pressed. "AEL" in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor lights up to indicate the exposure is locked. • Use of a tripod is recommended because of the slower shutter speed. • When the flash is not used, you can fix the exposure by pressing the AEL (AE lock) button (page 67). • In shutter speed priority mode or manual mode, slow sync shooting is not available using the AEL (AE lock) button. • You can set the camera to keep the slow sync mode after the AEL (AE lock) button is released (page 93). 69
