• The default setting depends on the shooting mode.
• Available flash mode depends on the shooting mode.
• You cannot use the flash when recording movies.
• When an external flash (sold separately) is attached to Smart Accessory Terminal 2, the state of the
external flash has priority over the setting of the camera. Even if you set [Flash Mode] to [Fill-flash] with
the external flash closed, the external flash is not fired.
• When an external flash (sold separately) is attached to Smart Accessory Terminal 2, the built-in flash
cannot pop up to the correct position. Remove the external flash from Smart Accessory Terminal 2 or
push down the built-in flash.
• The light of the flash may be blocked by the lens attached. If this happens, it is recommended that you
attach an external flash (sold separately).
In a dark location, using the flash allows you to shoot
the subject brightly, and it also helps to prevent camera
shake. When shooting into the sun, you can use the
flash to shoot a bright image of the backlit subject.
(flash pop-up) button
(Flash Off) Does not fire even if the flash is raised.
(Autoflash) Fires if it is dark or against light.
(Fill-flash) Fires every time you trigger the shutter.
(Slow Sync.) Fires every time you trigger the shutter. Slow sync shooting allows
you to shoot a clear image of both the subject and the background by
slowing the shutter speed.
(Rear Sync.) Fires right before the exposure is completed every time you trigger the
shutter. Rear sync shooting allows you to shoot a natural image of the
trail of a moving subject such as a moving car or a walking person.
Notes
z Tips on shooting with the flash
• The lens hood may block the light of the flash. Remove the lens hood when using the
flash.
• When using the flash, shoot the subject at a distance of 1 m (3.3 feet) or greater.
• When shooting a backlit subject, select [Fill-flash]. The flash will operate even in bright
daylight, and make faces come out brighter.
