FLASH OPTIONS
There are several Flash options available on your camera. The options appear in sequence on
the LCD screen in the Photo Capture Mode.
To change the Flash mode, press the UP Quick Function button until you arrive at your desired
settings.
Important:
 Please make sure the MACRO mode is turned OFF when you want to use the Flash.
When the camera is in MACRO mode (ON), the camera will not fire a flash, as MACRO mode
is suitable for close-up photography.
