Using the flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy
shadows. Flash is effective between 2.6 - 7.9 ft (0.8 - 2.4 m). You can only
change the flash setting in Still modes.

Choosing a flash option

Press the

button repeatedly to scroll

through the flash options.

The active flash icon is displayed in the camera
screen status area (see

page 6

).

NOTE:

Off and Fill flash options revert to Auto when the camera is turned off.

When the picture is taken with Auto or Fill flash selected, the camera

flashes twice: once to set the exposure and once to take the picture.
When the picture is taken with Red-eye flash selected, the camera
flashes three times: once to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye,
and once to take the picture.

Flash setting

Flash/Status button

Auto—flash fires when the lighting
conditions require it.

Fill—flash fires every time you take a
picture, regardless of the lighting
conditions. Use when the subject is in
shadow or is "backlit" (when the sun is
behind the subject).

Red-eye—flash fires so the subject’s
eyes become accustomed to the flash,
then fires again when the picture is
taken.

Off—flash never fires.
