NOTES
• The flash will not fire in the following
cases:
- When you manually adjust the
exposure in (auto) mode.
- During auto exposure bracketing.
- In the [
Fireworks] recording
program.
- When using the optional VL-5 Video
Light.
• The practical range of the flash is
approx. 1 to 2 m. The actual range will
depend on the recording conditions.
• The range of the flash decreases in
continuous shooting mode.
• The flash mode cannot be selected
when the exposure is locked.
• We recommend not using the flash while
the optional Wide-converter or
Tele-converter is attached; its shadow
can appear on the screen.
Histogram Display
When viewing photos you can display
the histogram and the icons of all the
functions used at the time of recording.
The histogram will be displayed also
immediately after taking a photo.
Use the histogram as a reference to
verify the correct exposure of the
photo.
The area to the right of the histogram
represents highlights and the left side
represents shadows. A photo whose
histogram skews to the right is relatively
bright; while one whose histogram
peaks to the left, is relatively dark.
Drive Mode: Continuous Shooting and
Exposure Bracketing
Take a series of photos of a moving
subject or record the same picture in 3
levels of exposure in order to choose
later the photo you like the best.
