the background. Both the portrait and the background are captured
beautifully.

not flash.

In a (Manual) mode, pop up the flash at any time.

Using Slow-Speed-Sync
• Slow-speed-sync slows the shutter speed. Use a tripod to avoid camera
shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.
• Slow-speed-sync shooting can also be performed with an external flash.
