Taking pictures by using the flash
Applicable modes:
With the built-in flash you can take pictures in dark places or adjust the entire contrast of a
picture by illuminating a subject with a bright background.
∫ Open/Close the built-in flash
A To open the flash
Slide the flash open lever.
B To close the flash
Press the flash until it clicks.
•
Forcibly closing the flash can damage the
camera.
• Make sure to close the built-in flash when it is
not in use.
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ] while the flash
is closed.
• Be careful when opening the flash as the flash will jump out.
• Be careful not to catch a finger when closing a flash bulb.
∫ The available flash range (approximation)
If the distance to the subject is close when taking a picture using a flash, part of the
recorded image becomes dark because the light of flash is blocked by the lens or it
becomes out of flash range. Check the distance to the subject when taking a picture.
•
This is the range when [ISO Limit Set] (P162) is set to [OFF].
Forcing the flash off ([Œ])
When the flash is closed or pictures cannot be taken with the flash due to motion picture
recording, etc., [Œ] (forced flash off) is displayed on the recording screen and the flash
will not fire.
•
Close the flash in places where its use is prohibited so that it will not fire.
