To delete the picture, hold down the

FUNCTION

button and press the

BACK

button.

If you didn’t delete the image before the Quick Review
gauge disappeared, the image is saved when the status
light stops flashing and turns green. (You can still delete
the picture after it’s saved, if necessary.)

To turn off macro mode, press the

/

macro button

three times or turn off the camera. The camera returns to
normal photo mode automatically.

NOTE
To take macro close-ups in low light conditions, use a tripod and
the timer (see page 2-12), and disable the flash (as described in
the next section). Otherwise, your pictures may appear blurry and
washed-out.

Using the Flash

The camera’s built-in flash is effective within a range of 3.2
to 9.8 feet (1 to 3 m). Press the

flash button to cycle

through the four flash settings.

An icon for each setting appears on the status display panel:

Auto

The flash goes off automatically whenever it’s needed
for adequate lighting (factory setting). Use only when
you’re 3.2 to 9.8 feet (1 to 3 m) from your subject.

Forced Flash

The flash goes off with every picture you take. Use
this setting to compensate for backlighting; for
example, when you are facing a light source.

Flash Off

The flash is disabled. Use this setting for special
effects, where flash photography is prohibited, or for
macro mode close-ups.

Red-Eye Reduction Flash

The flash blinks on and off rapidly, then flashes
normally to prevent light from shining directly off
your subject’s pupils. Use this setting for flash
pictures of people or animals.

Your flash setting remains in effect even after you turn off the
camera.
