* Rear-curtain sync is not available when [LIVE COMP] is selected (P. 108).
• The fastest shutter speed available when the fl ash fi res is 1/250 s. Bright backgrounds in
pictures taken with the fl ash may be overexposed.
• The fl ash sync speed for silent modes (P. 163), tripod-mounted High Res Shot (P. 210),
and focus bracketing (P. 239) is 1/50 s. Setting [K ISO] to a value over ISO 8000 when
using an option that requires the electronic shutter (for example, silent mode or focus
bracketing) sets the fl ash sync speed to 1/20 s. The fl ash sync speed is also set to 1/20 s
during ISO bracketing (P. 238).
• Even the minimum available fl ash output may be too bright at short range. To prevent
overexposure in pictures taken at short range, select mode
A
or
M
and choose a smaller
aperture (higher f-number) or choose a lower setting for [K ISO].
• There is no limit on the fastest shutter speed available when an FP mode (FP TTL AUTO or
FP MANUAL) is selected using fl ash controls.
