Using the flash
The flash is set to off as default, but there
are other options.
1 Select
from the top right corner
of the viewfinder to enter the flash
sub-menu.
2 There are three flash options:
Auto - Your camera will assess the
lighting needed to take a good picture
and use the flash as necessary.
Red-eye reduction - The camera will
flash twice in order to reduce red eye.
Always off - The camera will never
flash. This is useful if you want to save
battery power.
3 Touch the flash option you’d like to use.
4 When you’ve made your selection the
flash menu will automatically close,
ready for you to take your picture.
5 The flash icon in the viewfinder will
change according to your new flash
mode.
Note: Whenever you exit the camera,
the flash setting will revert to the default
off mode. You’ll need to switch the flash
back on if you still need it when you
reopen the camera.
TIP! In camera mode the unlock/
lock button functions as an Image
Stabilizer mechanism. The Image
Stabilizer compensates for small
movements the camera makes
when you’re shooting a picture.
This is useful when you’re taking
photos without the flash, as the
exposure is longer and therefore
the camera will pick up on small
movements.
