Using the Flash

In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can shoot pictures with a flash by
raising the built-in flash. You can set a flash mode that suits the shooting conditions.
The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 6.5 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 21 ft.) for wide, and about
0.8 to 3 m (2 ft. 8 in. to 9 ft. 10 in.) for tele (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto).

C

Flash Mode Setting

The default flash mode setting varies with the shooting mode (

A44).

- A (auto) mode: U Auto
- SCENE: Options vary depending on the scenes (

A46 to 55).

-

A, B, C, D, E, F, N: U Auto

This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be

Applied Simultaneously” (

A108) for more information.

In the following situations, the setting for flash mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after

the camera is turned off.
- When shooting mode

A, B, C or D is used

- When shooting with V (Auto with red-eye reduction) in A (auto) mode

U

Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

V

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits.

W

Off

Flash does not fire.
Available when the scene mode is x (scene auto selector) or a Speedlight

(external flash unit) is attached.

X

Fill flash

The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to
“fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.

S

Manual

Flash is forcibly fired at the flash output that is set for the built-in flash.
Choose the flash output from S Full (full flash), S1/2, S1/4, S1/8, S1/16,

S1/32 and S1/64. For example, when S1/16 is chosen, the flash is 1/16 of the
full flash.

Not available when a Speedlight flash unit (available separately) is attached.

Y

Slow sync

Fill flash is combined with a slow shutter speed.
Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background.

Z

Rear-curtain sync

Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light
behind moving subjects.
