Using the flash
The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,
but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera
has four modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode, flash
off mode, and red-eye reduction mode). The flash is available only when
shooting still images.
1 Set the camera to the still image
shooting mode (see page 41).
h The current flash mode is shown on
the LCD monitor.
No icon: The digital camera will detect
the subject brightness and
use the flash only when
required. In a backlight situa-
tion, if only the center of the
image is very dark, the flash
will operate to compensate
(auto flash).
: The flash will operate with every image captured regardless of
the conditions. Use this setting under backlight conditions,
when the subject is in shade, under fluorescent lighting condi-
tions, etc. (forced flash).
: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this set-
ting when capturing an image in a location where flash photog-
raphy is prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene
(flash off).
: The digital camera will detect the subject brightness and use
the flash only when required. At this time the flash will operate
in a manner that reduces the red reflection (“red-eye”) in the
subject’s eyes.
