Flash shooting

If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14 mm (equivalent to 28 mm on a 35 mm
film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a vignette effect. Whether or not
vignetting occurs also depends on lens type and shooting conditions (such as distance to the
subject).

Press the

# button to raise the built-in

flash.

• The built-in flash will pop up automatically

and fire in low light conditions under the
following modes.
AUTO/

i/&///B/U/G/J/r/g

Press the shutter button halfway.

• The

# (flash stand-by) mark lights when the

flash is ready to fire. If the mark is blinking, the
flash is charging. Wait until charging is complete.

Press the shutter button all the way.

When you do not want the flash to pop up automatically:

j Set [AUTO POP UP] to [OFF]. g“AUTO POP UP” (P. 95).

To shoot without having to wait for the flash to finish charging:

j See “RLS PRIORITY S/RLS PRIORITY C” (gP. 93)

Notes

• When [

#RC MODE] is set to [ON], the built-in flash will fire only to communicate with the

external flash so it will not function as a flash.
