Flash shooting
Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you
want to achieve.
Flash working range
W (max.): Approx. 0.2 m to 3.6 m (0.7 ft. to 12 ft.)
T (max.): Approx. 0.6 m to 2.1 m (2.0 ft. to 6.9 ft.)
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash (
!
)
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.
The red-eye reduction flash mode
reduces this phenomenon by emitting
pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
Fill-in flash (
#
)
The flash fires regardless of the available light.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Note
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.
Hold the camera firmly, and prevent it from moving.
• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-
flashes, or if the shooting subject is too far. Individual physical characteristics
may also limit effectiveness.
Note
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
The subject’s eyes appear red.
