Flash off
›
If flashlight might affect the natural mood of
your scene, switch the flash off by using the
mode and shift button to select the ‘flash off’
symbol.
›
This may well be useful not only for ‘available
light’ shots, but also where flash units are
not permitted – for example, in museums.
›
On the other hand, working without flash
may produce long shutter speeds that would
result in camera wobble with hand-held
shots.
›
A tripod should therefore be used where
possible.

FILL-IN FLASH / FLASH OFF
Fill-in flash
Bright daylight can produce deep shadow in
the foreground or create backlit situations. In
such cases, a fill-in flash can improve the
results.
›
To switch on the fill-in flash, briefly press the
mode button (19) and select the symbol for
fill-in flash with the shift button (18). Confirm
via the mode button. The longest shutter
speed in this mode is 1/4 sec, so that special
measures (tripod) may be necessary to avoid
camera wobble and blurred pictures.
