Shooting with Slow Synchro

Attach the camera to a tripod to prevent the camera from moving and
blurring the image. Additionally, you should set the [IS Mode] to [Off] when

Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation

Safety FE

The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the
flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene.
However, if you press the

n button to display the 4 tab and set [Safety FE]

to [Off] in [Flash Settings], the shutter speed and aperture value will not
automatically adjust.
