To change the flash setting
1 Turn on the camera.
2 Press the
FLASH
(
) button
repeatedly until the flash
setting you want appears on
the status LCD.
The
button cycles through
the four available flash
settings.
Note
The flash
recharges between pictures. This is indicated by a
blinking flash icon on the status LCD. When the
flash icon stops blinking, you can take another flash
picture.
RED-EYE
The flash will be used if needed. Red-eye
reduction minimizes the occurrence of red-eye in
pictures of people or animals by emitting several
short flashes to condition the subject’s eyes to
the flash, followed by a final flash to take the
picture. If you are photographing people, tell
them to wait for the final flash before moving.
FLASH ON
The flash will be used in all lighting conditions.
The amount of light provided by the flash will be
adjusted according to the current lighting
conditions. Use this setting when the lighting for
the entire picture is sufficient, but the lighting for
the subject is not, as in a backlighting situation.
This is commonly called “fill flash.”
FLASH OFF
The flash will not be used, regardless of the
lighting conditions. Use this setting in places
where flash photography is not permitted. If
necessary, use a tripod to hold the camera
steady. The message HOLD STEADY may
appear in the status line when you press the
shutter botton.
