Manual

Using the Built-in Flash

In a Basic Zone Mode

In low-light or backlit conditions, the built-in flash will pop up and fire

automatically (except in <Sa> <^> <CS> modes).

In a Creative Zone Mode

Press the <4> button to pop up the built-in flash.

P : Use this mode tor automatic flash photography. The flash

sync speed (1/90 sec.) and aperture value will be set

automatically as with the <D> (Full Auto) mode.

Tv : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed

manually (within 30 sec. -1/90 sec.). The camera will set

the flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct

flash exposure.

Av : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value.

The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. -

1/90 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the

aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark

background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a

proper exposure for both the subject and background. The

flash illuminates the subject, while the background is

properly exposed with a slow shutter speed.

• Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow

shutter speed, always use a tripod.

M : You can manually set both the flash sync speed (within

Bulb -1/90 sec.) and aperture value. The subject is properly

exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with

the flash sync speed and aperture value you have set.

A-DEP : The result will be the same as using the <P> mode.
