The flash does not fire. Select this mode when capturing images in a place or situation
where flash photography is prohibited. When you take an image in a low light condition,
the camera shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor.
If a subject or background is dark, the camera flash will work automatically
and will reduce the red-eye effect by using the red-eye reduction function.
The flash fires regardless of available light. The intensity of the flash will be
controlled, according to the prevailing conditions.
The brighter the background or subject is, the less intense the flash will be.
The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow shutter speed in order to obtain the
correct exposure. We recommend using a tripod. When you take an image in a low light
condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor.
INFORMATION
Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the batteries.
Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is normally within 7
seconds. If the batteries are weak, the charging time will be longer.
In super macro mode, continuous shot or AEB mode, the flash function will not operate.
