Slight camera movement in digital zoom will make it more difficult to focus on

objects/subjects. Use of a tripod can reduce this issue.

Using the Flash Features

By default, this camera is set to automatic flash mode which means that it will determine when to use this feature
or not. However, is some situations, it may be useful to manually select the appropriate flash mode. When taking

pictures in difficult lighting conditions, use the Flash button

to select the desired mode. This function cannot be

activated while recording videos or continuous shooting.

To activate Flash:

Press the

Flash/Right button on your camera repeatedly

until your desired flash mode is displayed on the LCD
screen.

Flash button

This camera is equipped with five flash modes:

AUTO.

The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines
extra lighting is needed. This is the default mode of the
camera.

Red-eye reduction.

The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The
first flash strobe is designed to force the iris of the subject to
reduce in size to compensate for the bright light, thus reducing
the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second
strobe is when the photo is taken.

Auto flash is enabled

Forced on.

The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button regardless of lighting conditions. This may be useful in some
bright backlight situations.
