The Built-in Speedlight
If the flash mode is set to auto (the default setting), red-eye reduction, or slow
sync and additional light is required for correct exposure, the built-in Speed-
light will pop up automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. At a setting of Anytime Flash (fill flash), the built-in Speedlight will
pop up whenever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Do not at-
tempt to raise the Speedlight by hand.
If your finger or another object obstructs the
Speedlight, preventing it from popping up when
a picture is taken, a message will appear in the
monitor, and the flash-ready lamp will flicker.
4 .2 Ready the camera
Pictures can be framed in the monitor (A) or viewfinder (B). To prevent
your pictures from being blurred by inadvertent camera movement (cam-
era shake), hold the camera steadily in both hands. In auto mode, the
built-in Speedlight pops up automatically when lighting is poor. Do not
place your fingers on top of the built-in Speedlight.

Swivel Limit
To prevent the lens section from rotating more than
90 ° forward, slide the swivel limit switch as shown
at right. This prevents unintended rotation when
a converter lens (available separately) is attached.
