Recording pictures (basic)

You can fix the flash slanting at an angle
of about 65

o as follows in bounce flash.

(Bounce flash lock)

Aim the flash to the ceiling and take
the picture.
• We recommend setting the white

balance to [AUTO] (P61).

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

• In Motion image mode or when the

flash is closed, flash setting is fixed to
the Forced OFF [

• Do not stare at the photo flash from

close proximity when using the
flash.

• If you bring the flash too close to

the subjects, they may be distorted
or discoloured by its heat and
lighting.

• Do not cover the photo flash with

your fingers or any other items.

• When you take pictures out of the

range of the flash control, the picture
may be over exposed.

• When the jitter alert appears, we

recommend using the flash.

• When you set to burst mode or auto

bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for
every flash activated.

• The flash icon turns red when

activating the flash and pressing the
shutter button halfway.

• When the flash is being charged, the

flash icon blinks red, and you cannot
take a picture even when you press
the shutter button fully.

• When taking a picture with the

flash, we recommend removing the
lens hood. In some cases it may not
allow the scene to be illuminated
properly.

• When taking a picture with the flash,

the white balance will be automatically
adjusted [except for [

] (Daylight)

and [

] (Flash)] (P61), but the white

balance may not be properly adjusted
when the photo flash is insufficient.

• When the shutter speed is fast, the

flash effect may not be sufficient.

• To avoid noises, we recommend

setting each item on [PICT.ADJ.] to
[LOW]. (P72)

• Refer to P68 for the ISO sensitivity.
• Refer to P105 for the external flash.
• In the bounce flash

• Select the whitish ceiling with high

reflection ratio. If not, the colour or
the pattern may be reflected to the
picture.

• The available flash range becomes

shorter than usual.

• When you select too high ceiling,

the reflected light may not reach to
the subject.

• Using the flash for bounce flash on

the position other than specified
may cause a malfunction.

• When you repeat taking pictures using

the flash, recording may be impossible
if the flash is activated. Try recording
after the card access indicator turns
off.
