Using Slow-Speed-Sync
• Slow-speed-sync slows the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction function
or turn off the Shake Reduction function and 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.
