Stupid question: How to use slow sync

Hello,

Stupid question, can I lock shutter speed to say 1/60 or lower depending on metered light while using flash in A700? I mean flash will act as fill while I get ambient light. I know night portrait uses that, but it doesn't allow me to set aperture of my choice, and of course I can use manual mode.

I use spot AEL and then use flash, but that's pretty tricky. Is there a way to tell camera to use slower shutter speed?

Thanks in advance for help.
Ayan

Use shutter priority flash - you can set any speed slower than 1/200th with the built-in flash, and anything at all with HSS using an attached flash.
