OTHER SHOOTING FUNCTIONS
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 42).
h The current flash mode is shown
on the LCD monitor.
No icon: The digital camera will
detect the subject bright-
ness and use the flash only
when required. In a back-
light situation, 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 brightness of the subject, and
when the light is determined to be insufficient, the flash will
automatically operate. At this time the illumination light will flash
white in order to reduce the red reflection (“red-eye”) in the sub-
ject’s eyes.
