Suppressed flash
◆
Pressing the flash down changes the camera to
Suppressed flash mode.
Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor
lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for
photography in places such as theaters or at indoor
sporting events where the distance is too great for
the flash to be effective. When you use Suppressed
flash, the selected white balance function (➡P.50)
operates so that natural colors are captured along
with the ambience of the available light.
●
!
Use a tripod to avoid camera shake, particularly for shots in
the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed
flash.
●
!
See P.23, 113 for information on the camera shake
warning.
If the flash pop-up reminder is displayed, we
recommend you use the flash.
