When using flash, pressing the AEL button activates
the slow-sync. function in program, full-auto

The use of a tripod is recommended with slow-sync.

The metered area is 1.0Ev less (–) than the locked exposure.
The arrow indicates the metered area is 0.5Ev more (+)
or less (–) than the greatest value on the scale in
comparison to the locked exposure.
The blinking arrow indicates the metered area is 1.0Ev
or more greater (+) or less (–) than the greatest value on
the scale in comparison to the locked exposure.
The increments on the scale depend on the exposure-compensation dial position. See
camera notes on page 41. The examples below are based on a 0.5 Ev increment.
