73EN5 Flash shootingSlow synchronization (2nd curtain) #SLOW2/2nd CURTAIN2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can createinteresting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing thetail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out.In S/M mode, the flash always fires.When the shutter speed is set to 2 sec.Slow synchronization (1st curtain)/Red-eye reduction flash !SLOWWhile using slow synchronization with flash shooting, you can also use this function toachieve red-eye reduction. When shooting a subject against a night scene, this functionallows you to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. As the time from emitting pre-flashes toshooting is long in 2nd curtain synchronization, it is difficult to achieve red-eye reduction.Hence, only 1st curtain synchronization setting is available.Fill-in flash #The 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).x Notes• When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subjectagainst a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In thiscase, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flashmode. g“Super FP flash” (P. 78)Flash off $The flash does not fire.Even in this mode, the flash can be used as an AF illuminator when it is raised. g“AFILLUMINAT.” (P. 93)2nd curtain 1st curtain2nd curtain flash fires1st curtain flash firesShutter closes Shutter fully opens2 seconds2seconds0seconds
