Press the shutter release button.
When the flash is activated, the flash LED (red)
lights when you press the shutter release button
lightly.
The flash LED blinks while the flash is charging and
the LCD monitor is cleared. You cannot shoot
during this time.
Note
• The flash will not fire in the following situations:
– when the shooting mode is set on
(Sound),
(Continuous
Shooting) or
(Motion Picture) mode
– when the white balance mode is set on
(daylight),
(overcast),
(tungsten light) or
(fluorescent light)
– when in macro mode (
)
– when using auto bracket
• Enable the keep settings mode to save the flash mode setting. See
“Keep Settings” (p.121).
• When shooting a subject with the flash activated, if the subject
appears dark on the LCD monitor, switch to a wider angle. The
subject may be difficult to focus on with the telephoto setting.
• Shooting in the red-eye reduction mode will lessen the red-eye
phenomenon in the resultant picture. See “Red-Eye Reduction Mode”
(p.72).

Important
Note
• When you shoot a subject
located closer than about 0.6m
(23.7 inches) with the flash
activated, light from the flash
may appear red in the resultant
picture. The subject may also
appear white due to
overexposure. To avoid this,
switch to Flash Off mode.
• The shutter speed slows
automatically when you shoot
in dark places. To prevent
camera shake, hold the
camera steady or mount it on a
tripod. Take care to avoid
camera shake particularly
when using the telephoto
setting (
).
Note
• Enable the keep settings
mode to save the flash
strength setting. See “Keep
Settings” (p.121).
