Using the Flash
In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can take pictures with flash by
raising the flash.
• The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 6.0 m (1 ft 8 in. to 19 ft) at the maximum
wide-angle position, and about 1.5 to 3.0 m (5 ft to 9 ft 10 in.) at the maximum
telephoto zoom position.
• If the flash is raised when using easy auto mode (A 20), the camera
automatically sets a flash mode according to the determined scene mode.
When the flash is lowered, the flash setting changes to off and W is displayed at
the top of the monitor.
Selecting a Flash Mode
When using auto mode (A 50), certain scene modes (A 35), or smart portrait
mode (A 46), the following flash modes are available.
U
Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
V
Auto with red-eye reduction
Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A 30).
W
Off
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
X
Fill flash
Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and back-lit
subjects.
Y
Slow sync
Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night
portraits that include background scenery.
Flash illuminates main subject; Slow shutter speeds are used to capture background
at night or under dim light.
