Using the Flash

If you press the F (Flash) button, you can

switch into Flash Mode (Flash, Flash Off, and

other settings). Switch settings according to

time, conditions and your preference, and

shoot your pictures.

From the front edge of the lens, flashlight

reaches about 0.2 to 5.0 m (W) or about 0.15

to 2.9 m (T) when ISO sensitivity is set to

AUTO.

You can check your Flash Mode setting by

the symbol displayed on the upper left of the

LCD Monitor.

Slow Synchronized

When you shoot pictures in dark places and

want to capture background as well, use this

mode, which slows shutter speed and sets

the flash to Flash Off.

Red-Eye

If you shoot with the F (flash) in a dark place,

people's eyes will appear red. This is called

the "red-eye" phenomenon.

• By default, your camera is set to Flash Off.

• The settings are saved until you press the

F (Flash) button to change them.

• When shooting movies or in Multi-Shot

mode, the setting becomes Flash Off.

• When the camera is set to Flash Off or

Slow Synchro Mode, the shutter speed is

slowed, so the camera is subject to cam-

era shake. Hold the camera firmly with

both hands and shoot.

• When in LANDSCAPE of Scene Mode, the

flash setting is fixed to Flash Off.

• When in NIGHTSCAPE of Scene Mode,

Forced Flash cannot be selected. Also, the

initial setting value is Auto.

• If you press the flash button, even while

the flash is charging, you can return to

Flash Off mode. If you do this, flash charg-

ing is cancelled.

• If the flash is switched to off, the AF auxil-

iary lamp (to improve focusing in a dark

place) does not flash.
