Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync
Slow Sync
Rear-Curtain Sync
Red-eye reduction can be performed
with Slow Sync (described below.)
When flash pictures are taken in
dim light at high shutter speeds, the
background may turn out dark.
Slow Sync improves background
exposures by extending the
automatically controlled shutter
speed range down to 30 seconds,
which enables background details to
emerge.
Use a tripod to prevent camera
shake.
With Rear-Curtain Sync set, the
flash fires at the end of the
exposure, turning available light
into a stream of light that follows
the moving, flash-illuminated
subject.
Rear-Curtain Sync is particularly
effective at slow shutter speeds.
When selecting a slow shutter
speed, use a tripod to prevent
camera shake.
To select your desired shutter speed,
set the Exposure mode to Shutter-
Priority Auto or Manual.
