Recording images (basic)
Slow
sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the flash
fire and the shutter speed slow, so that the
dark background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon. We recommend that
you use a tripod.
Forced OFF
Even being in dark places, the flash does
not fire.
Set it when you take pictures in places
where using flash is not allowed.
Do not stare at the flash light from close proximity when using the flash.
The available flash range is about 50 cm -140 cm (Tele), 30 cm-2,4 m (Wide).

adjusted (tor AUTO and Halogen mode), but the white balance may not be
properly adjusted when the Photo Flash is insufficient.

white balance may not be properly adjusted. We recommend setting the white
balance to [AUTO] when using the flash. (P49)
