A Flash Modes
The flash modes listed on the previous page may combine one or more
of the following settings, as shown by the flash mode icon:
• R (auto flash): Flash fires as required when lighting is poor or subject
is back lit.
• j (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits.
Flash fires at low intensity
before main flash, reducing “red-eye” but increasing lag between
shutter-release button being pressed all the way down and shutter
being released.
• j (off): Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is
back-lit.
• S (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture
background lighting at night or under low light.
Use to include
background lighting in portraits.
• T (rear-curtain sync): The flash fires just before the shutter closes,
creating streams of light behind moving light sources as shown below
at left.
