| Flash Sync Speed in Av Mode 
| You can set the flash-sync speed for flash photography in the aperture-priority AE (Av) mode The flash sync speed is set automatically within a range of 1/250 sec. to 30 sec. to suit the scene’s brightness. High-speed sync is also possible. Prevents a slow shutter speed from being set in low-light conditions. It is effective for preventing subject blur and camera shake. However, while the subject will be properly exposed with the flash, the background may come out dark. The flash-sync speed is fixed at 1/250 sec. This more effectively prevents subject blur and camera shake than with [1/250-1/60 sec. auto]. However, in low light, the subject’s background will come out darker than with [1/250-1/60 sec. auto]. |
If [1/250-1/60 sec. auto] or [1/250 sec. (fixed)] is set, high-speed sync is not possible in the <f> mode.
