Using the Flash

use the flash. The camera flash is effective when you are 2.5 to 8.2 feet (0.75 to
2.5 m) from your subject.

Press the

button repeatedly to scroll

through the flash options.
The flash icon that is displayed on the LCD
Status Bar (

see page 7

) is the active option.

NOTE: All flash options (except Red-eye) revert to Auto when the camera is

turned off.

Auto Flash—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it.

Off—flash never fires.

Fill—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the
lighting conditions.

Night Shot—flash fires every time you take a picture,
regardless of the lighting conditions. In dark scenes, the shutter
speed is set to 1/2 second to capture close and background
subjects.

Red-eye—flash fires once so the subject’s eyes become
accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is
taken. The Red-eye option remains in effect until you change it.
