Setting the Auto Flash Mode

The camera has two different flash modes:

Off (default)

: The flash is disabled no matter what the ambient brightness of the

surroundings is.

Auto

: The camera automatically fires the flash when the brightness of the subject

or scene is too low.

To set the Auto Flash mode:

1. Make sure that the camera is in Record mode.
2. Use the / - button to choose the Auto Flash mode (Auto

). The camera starts

charging the flash and the Status light indicator blinks. The Status light indicator stays
lit when the flash is charged and ready.

Note

Do not fire the flash at a person at short range.

Auto Flash is always reset to “OFF ” when the camera is turned on.

Auto Flash will be disabled automatically when connected on USB because the large
charge current will cause damage to your USB interface.

Do not use the Auto-Flash feature while battery power is low. (It will cause the camera
to be kept in charging status always. Replace the batteries with new ones, then use
the Auto-Flash feature.)

Setting the Exposure Value

This camera automatically chooses the most appropriate Exposure Value (EV) for a
given situation. However, the EV system can also be manually compensated as follows:

1. Make sure the camera is in Record mode.
2. The LCD panel shows the EV Compensation scale. Press the EV / + button (located

at the left side of the LCD panel on the back of the camera) to select a higher or
lower value.
