Flash exposure compensation can
be adjusted in the range of –2 to
+2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
You can combine the flash
exposure compensation with the
camera’s exposure compensation
function for balanced exposure of
the background when shooting
with a flash.

three steps, up to FULL, when
shooting.

set [Flash Mode] to
[Manual] in advance.
Slow Synchro The flash timing is adjusted to slow
shutter speeds. This reduces the
chance that only the background
will appear dark when a night
scene or an interior shot is taken.
Using Slow Synchro
increases the chances
for camera shake. Use
of a tripod is
recommended.
Red-Eye
Corr.
Automatically searches for and
corrects red eyes in the image
when the flash fires.

Red-Eye
Lamp
This feature reduces the effect of
light reflecting back from the eyes
and making them appear red.
The red-eye reduction
lamp lights orange
before the flash fires.
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.
In and
shooting modes, set
[Flash Mode] to [Auto]
in advance.
