The Camera : Advanced Techniques
Using the Built-In Flash
✤ The Flash works in (CAMERA) modes and allows the user to take brighter pictures in dark
locations (i.e. nighttime 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, press the UP button. 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 finer results, it is recommended to use 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 picture. Slow Sync flash mode
allows the user to take brighter background as well as brighter subject at night.
Flash Cancel
Forces the flash not to fire. Public places such as museums may prohibit flashlight use.
✤ The flash does not function in CONTINUOUS SHOT, AEB or in the Camcorder modes.
✤ 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).
✤ To close the flash after use, push the top lid of the flash downwards until it clicks.
✤ Do not apply excessive force when closing the flash; otherwise it might damage the moving parts.
✤ The effective flash range is 7 ~ 10 feet.
