Using Flash
«Applicable modes: C / N / S / I»
This camera has an Automatic Flash mode in which the camera determines
whether or not to fire the flash based on the ambient light level. However,
there is also a range of other flash modes that you can use to achieve
particular effects in your shots.
Flash Modes
[a] Auto Flash mode
The camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the flash.
[h] Red-eye Reduction Auto mode
In this mode, the flash reduces the red-eye effect by firing twice: once just before and again when the picture is
taken. As in Auto Flash mode, the camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the
flash.
[g] Flash Off mode
In this mode, the flash never fires, regardless of the ambient light levels. This mode is best for shots of sunsets
or shots where you want to retain an indoor ambiance.
[b] Fill-in Flash mode
In this mode, the flash fires regardless of the ambient light conditions. When you take a picture in strong
sunlight or when the subject is backlit, this mode allows you to take a picture that clearly shows both the subject
and the background.
A Important
When using the flash for close-up shots, you should set the ISO sensitivity to 200 or less.
If you set the sensitivity to a high ISO setting and then take close-up shots, the image will
be overexposed.
A Important
The shot is taken the second time the flash fires, not the first time. Take care to ensure that
neither the camera nor the subject move after the flash fires for the first time.
A Important
• Because the shutter speed used may be slow, depending on the light levels, you should
place the camera on a tripod and use the self-timer (Æ
p.47) to prevent camera shake
when the shot is taken.
• If the photographed image is too dark, use the exposure compensation (Æ
p.58) or ISO
sensitivity (Æ
p.65) settings to adjust the brightness.
