USING THE FLASH

When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the orange lamp next to the
finder lights up when use of the flash is necessary. Select a flash mode
to match the photographic conditions and purpose.

If a setting other than Auto-Flash is
selected, the flash mode is displayed on
the control panel.

You can select the following flash modes with each press of the Flash
mode button.

Flash mode

Use

Auto-Flash (p. 65)

Automatically fires in low-light
and backlight conditions.

Red-Eye Reducing Flash (p. 65) Significantly reduces the

phenomenon of “red-eye”
(subject’s eyes appearing red).

Fill-In Flash (p. 66)

Fires regardless of available
light.

Flash Off (p. 66)

Never fires.

➟

Flash working range:
Wide-angle : Approx. 31" ~ 12.5 ft
Telephoto : Approx. 8" ~ 12.5 ft

Note:
• The amount of flash light can be compensated for to match the picture

subject. (p. 86)

• The flash is being charged while the Orange lamp is blinking. Wait until

the Orange lamp goes off to take the picture.

• When using the flash in the Macro mode, especially with Wide-angle

shooting, the flash may not have the proper effect. Confirm the result
using the LCD monitor.

• See page 90 for using an extension flash.
• The main flash cannot be used in the Sequence mode. (p. 74)
