See page 176 – 179 for how to use an external flash. The flash modes are as follows: Auto-flash Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions. Red-eye reduction flash This mode significantly reduces the phenomenon of “red-eye” by emitting about 10 preflashes before firing the regular flash.
Chapter 4 Flash shooting (Cont.) Flash off The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. ● Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low-light conditions. However, higher values also produce more “noise” in the resulting images. In the top menu, select MODE MENU T CAMERA T ISO. There are 4 choices of ISO: AUTO, 100, 200, or 400. Choose the best one for your shooting conditions. AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the lighting conditions and the subject brightness.
