FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
]
Suppressed Flash
Pressing the flash down switches the camera to
Suppressed Flash mode.
Use this mode for photography using indoor
lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for
photography in venues such as theaters or at
indoor sporting events where the distance is too
great for the flash to be effective. When you use
Suppressed Flash, the Auto White Balance
function (
➡
P.126) operates so that natural colors
are captured along with the ambience of the
available light.
●
!
If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark
conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
●
!
See P.29, 118 for information on the camera shake
warning.
Close the flash to switch to Suppressed Flash
mode. The “
]
” icon appears on the display
panel and you cannot use the flash.

In the modes shown below, the “
]
” icon is not
displayed but the flash still cannot be used.

Forced Flash
Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter
speed. This allows you to take pictures of people
at night that clearly show both your subjects and
the nighttime backdrop.

The image may be overexposed when you shoot
bright scenes.

!
Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod
should be used to prevent camera shake.
To take a picture of a main subject with night
scene in background, please use the “

(Night Scene) settings (

mode.
