Chapter 4 Flash shooting (Cont.) Flash off When the flash is pushed back in the camera, the flash is in the Off mode. The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. Note ● Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement. Night scene flash & Night scene with red-eye reduction flash Designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent blurring from camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter speeds can make the background too dark. Night scene flash and Night scene with red-eye reduction flash allow you to combine a slow shutter speed for the background with a flash for the subject. Since the shutter speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera using a tripod. Otherwise, camera movement may cause the image to be blurred. Shutter speed: 2 to 1/1000 sec. Ⅵ Night scene (front curtain): Regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully opens. This is called front curtain. Ⅵ Night scene with red-eye reduction flash: Select this mode when you want to use the Night scene flash, but want to minimize red-eye. For example, when taking a picture of someone against a brightly lit night-time background. 61
