4 Flash Flash shooting Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you want to achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control. This camera is equipped with two flashes. The camera automatically selects which flash to fire depending on the zoom magnification. 1 Press the flash button. (c) Flash button • The flash pops up. (d) Select a flash mode by repeatedly pressing #.
Flash shooting 3 Press the shutter button halfway. # mark • In conditions where the flash will fire, # lights. 4 F2.8 Press the shutter button fully to take the picture. HQ 2288 1712 Flash working range W (max.): Approx. 0.3 m to 4.5 m (1.0 ft. to 14.8 ft.) T (max.) : Approx. 1.2 m to 5.2 m (3.9 ft. to 17 ft.
Flash shooting TIPS The # (flash charge) indication blinks. → The flash is charging. Wait until # goes off. Shutter speed when using the flash (Auto-flash, red-eye reduction, fill-in flash). → When # (camera movement warning) lights, the shutter speed locks at its current level. This helps prevent camera shake problems (shutter speeds that are too slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased, the camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly.
Flash shooting zAuto-flash (No indication) The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. zRed-eye reduction flash (!) The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon. The subject’s eyes appear red.
Flash shooting zFlash 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. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. Note • 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.
Flash shooting 2nd curtain (rear curtain) #SLOW2 With 2nd curtain, the flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards.
