SETTING THE AUTO POP UP FLASH
1
Press the flash mode button
until
appears on the
LCD panel.
2
In this mode, the built-in
flash automatically pops up
when pressing the shutter
button halfway down in the
low light or backlight
conditions.
✍
MEMO
• The built-in flash does not retract automatically except when you turn
off the power, push the built-in flash down after use.
• If the flash pop up button is pressed after the flash popped up
automatically, disappears and the camera turns into the flash on
mode.
• The auto pop up flash can only be selected in the auto picture mode
and picture mode.
• The built-in flash does not discharge when not required even if it is in
the up position. See page 102 for more details.
• Do not use a lens hood when the built-in flash is used, as it may
obstruct the path of the light coming from the flash, causing vignetting
in the picture corners.
