102Flash7Flash mode Slow synchronization + Red-eye reduction flash SLOWThis mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the red-eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit nightbackground. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but this mode lets youcapture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the sametime. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available. Fill-in flashThe flash fires regardless of the light conditions.This mode is useful for eliminating shadows onthe subject’s face (such as shadows from treeleaves), in a backlight situation, or for correctingthe color shift produced by artificial lighting(especially fluorescent light).Note● When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subjectagainst a bright background with the flash, the background may be overexposed. In thiscase, set the flash (FL-50) to the Super FP flash mode. Fill-in flash + Red-eye reduction flashThis mode makes it possible to fire the flash regardless of the light conditions and alsoto reduce red-eye phenomenon.
