Tiiking a Por'traii at Night v/it.h Fiash
When you want to take a picture of someone outdoors at sunset or at night,
turn the Command Dial to <
Av> and set a large aperture (smaller f-
number). The flash will illuminate the subject and the background will be
exposed with a slow shutter speed, A natural-looking, balanced exposure
will result. This is called slow-speed flash sync. See page 54.
In this case, be sure to use a tripod. After the flash fires, the subject should
not move until the exposure is completed.
