Using the Built-In Flash
Digital Still Camera Mode : Advanced Techniques
✤ The Flash works in (CAMERA) modes and allows the user to take brighter pictures in dark
locations (i.e. night time shooting, indoors and in shaded areas).
✤ Auto Flash, Red-Eye Reduction, Fill-In Flash, Slow Sync and Flash Cancel modes are available.
✤ To select a flash mode, move the Joystick up. It will toggle the flash mode between:
■ Auto Flash ( )
The flash automatically pops up and fires according to the lighting conditions. Pressing the
PHOTO button halfway down will detect the lighting condition. Even if it remains raised, the
flash will not fire when there is sufficient light.
■ Red-Eye Reduction ( )
The Red-Eye Reduction flash fires before the main flash fires and reduces the Red-Eye effect. Red-Eye Reduction flash
mode is effective when the subjects are within range of the flash and looking toward the flash. A slight delay occurs after
the PHOTO button is fully pressed, to allow the Red-Eye reduction to take effect. This flash mode is not recommended for
fast-moving subjects or long-distance subjects.
■ Fill-In Flash ( )
Forces the flash to fire despite the lighting condition. To get better results, it is recommended you use the Fill-In flash
mode in backlight conditions, and for shaded subjects under sufficient lighting conditions.
■ Slow Sync ( )
The shutter speed is set to slow and the flash fires at the adjusted shutter speed. Use to capture both subject and
background at night or in dim light. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent a blurred image. Slow Sync flash mode
allows the user to take brighter backgrounds and subjects at night.
■ Flash Cancel ( )
Forces the flash not to fire. Public places such as museums may prohibit flashlight use.
[ Notes ]
■ The flash does not function in CONTINUOUS SHOT, AEB or in the Camcorder mode.
■ The battery power will be consumed faster with repeated use of the flash.
■ To use the flash again, wait until the flash is fully charged (5 ~ 7 seconds).
■ The effective flash range is 7 ~ 10 feet.
