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

Flash Characteristics in Each 
Exposure Mode
• 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.68) 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.
You can use Slow-speed Sync in . (Night Scene Portrait) of Picture 
mode or b (Shutter Priority) mode when shooting portraits with the sunset 
in the background. Both the portrait and the background are captured 
beautifully.
Using the Flash in b (Shutter Priority) Mode
Using the Flash in c (Aperture Priority) Mode
Using the Slow-speed Sync
• 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 
shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.
• Slow-speed Sync shooting can also be performed with an external flash.

1Set the mode dial to b.
2Use the e-dial to set the shutter speed.
The background is not properly exposed if the aperture value is blinking 
when the shutter speed is set. Adjust the shutter speed so that the 
aperture value does not blink.
3Press the K/i button.
The built-in flash pops up.

1Set the mode dial to e, K or c.
2Press the K/i button.

4Select G or H and press the 4 button.
The shutter speed is set slower to give a proper exposure for the 
background.

3Press the K/i button.
The built-in flash pops up.
In a (Manual) mode, you can raise the built-in flash at any time prior to 
shooting.
4Take 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.

Using the Flash5
Distance and Aperture when Using 
the Built-in Flash
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.
*1 This can be used when [3. Expanded Sensitivity] in the [A Custom Setting 1] menu is set 
to [On].
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 200 and the aperture value is F4.0
L1 = 16 ÷ 4.0 = approx. 4 (m)
L2 = 4 ÷ 5 = approx. 0.8 (m)
Therefore, the flash can be used in a range of about 0.8 m to 4 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 200 and the shooting distance is 5 m, the 
aperture value is:
F = 16 ÷ 5 = 3.2
If the resulting number (3.2, 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.
