More details about flash
photography
The built-in flash unit has a
range of approx. 0.4 to 3 m,
regardless of the focal
length set.
The ready lamp beside the
viewfinder eyepiece lights
red as soon as the flash is
fully charged and ready to
fire.
While the flash is recycling –
for example when you take
several flash pictures in short
order – the red ready lamp
will blink. Releasing the
shutter is then impossible.
For prolonged shooting
sessions with flash (impor-
tant events, etc.) always use
fresh or fully charged
batteries.
Turn off the TFT screen and
use the optical viewfinder if
you have to use flash while
the camera is warning of
low battery power (only two
bars remaining).
Experiment with the
different flash modes. More
often than not, available-
light shots of stationary
subjects are more evocative
than flash pictures. However,
the camera should be placed
on a sturdy support (tripod
or similar).(Stativ etc).
If subject contrast is high
(for example with sunlight
incident at an angle), use the
flash to fill in shadows (Flash
On mode).
Flash is disabled in the
Continuous and Macro
modes.
More details about flash
photography
Flash output is controlled
automatically, but flash
exposure compensation is
possible.
Press the MENU button on
the camera back and use the
four-way control to select
the Flash mode. Then select
the Power subfunction
where you can choose
between the following
settings: +2.0, +1.5, +1.0,
+0.5, 0.0 (default), -0.5, -1.0,
-1.5 and –2.0. Confirm your
selection by pressing the
Right arrow
of the
four-way control.
In digital photography, the
high sensitivity of the CCD
sensor may result in
relatively bright flash
pictures.
This is why you should
experiment with flash
exposure compensation –
described at left – as well as
with slow sync that brings
out weaker background
illumination in addition to
your flash-illuminated
foreground subject.
Be sure to experiment with
all available flash modes –
it‘s worth your while! Digital
photography is instan-
taneous: You will see your
picture right after you take
it. So you can repeat it at
will, if necessary. And your
pictures will surely benefit
from mastery of the
different flash modes.
Switching the camera off will
reset it to „Autoflash with
red-eye reduction“ and
default output.
