Using the Flash
The camera’s built-in flash is effective within a range of 1.6 to

when using the macro feature. Press the flash button to cycle
through the four flash settings.
An icon for each setting appears on the status display panel, as
shown below:
Auto
The flash goes off automatically whenever it’s needed
for adequate lighting (factory setting).
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, even when adequate lighting is
not available. Use this setting for special effects,
where flash photography is prohibited, or for macro
mode close-ups.
Slow synchronized flash
The camera’s shutter speed slows to enhance the clarity
of background details. Use this setting when taking
pictures at night, or when taking pictures against an
illuminated background.
Note
Slow synchronized flash is available only in the Program or Manual
user modes. See page 9 for information about changing the user
mode.
After you take a flash picture, the icon blinks until the flash is
fully recharged. Your flash setting remains in effect even after
you turn off the camera.
