Taking Pictures using the Built-in Flash
When you set the flash, you can take
pictures using the built-in flash according to
the recording condition.
A: Photo flash
Do not cover it with your finger or any other
items.
Switching to the appropriate flash
setting
For the selectable flash settings, refer to
“Available flash settings by recording
mode” on P38.
:AUTO
The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.
: AUTO/Red-eye reduction
The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.
It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes
of the subject appear red in the picture) by
triggering the flash before actually
recording the picture. After that, the flash is
activated for actual recording again.
The flash is activated twice. The first
flash is activated only for a preparation
of actual recording. The subject should
not move until the second flash is
finished.
Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.
: Forced ON
The flash is activated every time regardless
of the recording condition.
Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction
The flash setting is set to Forced ON/
Red-eye reduction only when you set
to [PARTY] in scene mode. (P54)
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, this feature makes
the shutter speed slow when the flash is
activated, so that the dark background
landscape will become bright.
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye
phenomenon.
Use this when you take pictures of
people in front of a dark background.
: Forced OFF
The flash is not activated in any recording
condition.
Use this when you take pictures in
places where the use of the flash is not
permitted.
