Using the Flash
This chapter provides details on the built-in flash of 1_-5
and describes how to take pictures with the external flash.

Built-in Flash ....................................................... 185

Using an External Flash (Optional) ................... 187

• When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur
effect.
• Any desired shutter speed of 1/180 sec. or slower can be set for taking a
flash photograph.
• The aperture value automatically changes according to the ambient
brightness.
• The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 sec. when a lens other than a DA,
DA L, D FA, FA J, FA, F or A lens is used.
• You can set the desired aperture value to take a flash photograph when
you want to change the depth of field or shoot a subject farther away.
• The shutter speed automatically changes with the ambient brightness.
• The shutter speed shifts automatically anywhere from 1/180 sec. to a
slow shutter speed (p.70) that reduces camera shake. The slowest
shutter speed depends on the focal length of the lens in use.
• The shutter speed is locked at 1/180 sec. when a lens other than a DA,
DA L, D FA, FA J, FA or F lens is used.
Using the Slow-speed Sync
You can use slow-speed-sync in Tv (Shutter Priority) mode when shooting
portraits with the sunset in the background. Both the portrait and the
background are captured beautifully.
, Slow-speed Sync slows the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction function
or turn off the Shake Reduction function and use a tripod to avoid camera
shakel The picture will a!so blur if the subject moves I
, Slow.speed Sync shooting can also be performed with an external flash:

The shutter speed is set slower to give a proper exposure for the
background.

aperture value (for TAv or M mode).
Set so a proper exposure is obtained at a shutter speed of 1/180 second
or slower.
Press the _button.
The built-in flash pops up.
Take a picture.

Trailing Curtain Sync discharges the flash immediately before the shutter
curtain closes. When shooting moving objects with a slow shutter speed,
Trailing Curtain Sync and Slow-speed Sync produce different effects
depending on when the flash is discharged.
For example, when shooting a moving car with Trailing Curtain Sync,
trailing light is captured while the shutter is open and the flash captures the
car immediately before the shutter is closed. Therefore, the picture will
include a sharp, well-lit car with trailing light behind it.

Relationships between the guide number, aperture and distance must be
considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure.
Calculate and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient.
Sensitivity Built-in Flash Guide Number Sensitivity Built-in flash guide number
ISO 100 Approx. 13 ISO 3200 Approx. 73.5
ISO 200 Approx. 18.4 ISO 6400 Approx. 104
ISO 400 Approx. 26 ISO 12800 Approx. 147

ISO 1600 Approx. 52 ISO 51200 "1 Approx. 294

The following equation calculates the distance of the flash for aperture values.
Maximum flash distance L1 = Guide number + Aperture value
Minimum flash distance L2 = Maximum flash distance + 5 *
• The value 5 used in the formula above is a fixed value
which applies only when using the built-in flash alone.
Example: When the sensitivity is ISO 100 and the aperture value is F2.8
L1 = 13 + 2.8 = approx. 4.6 (m)
L2 = 4.6 + 5 = approx. 0.9 (m)
Therefore, the flash can be used in a range of about 0.9 m to 4.6 m.
However, the built-in flash in this camera cannot be used when the
distance is 0.7 m or less. When the flash is used at closer than 0.7
m, it causes vignetting in the picture corners, light is distributed
unevenly and a picture may be overexposed.
The following equation calculates the aperture value for shooting distances.
Aperture value F = Guide number + Shooting distance
Example: When the sensitivity is ISO 100 and shooting distance is 4 m,
the aperture value is:
F = 13 + 4 = 3.25
If the resulting number (3.25, in the above example) is not available
as a lens aperture, the smaller number that is closest (2.8, in the
above example) is generally used.
