Using a flash (sold separately)
In a dark location, using the flash allows you to shoot the subject brightly,
and it also helps to prevent camera shake. When shooting into the sun, you
can use the flash to shoot a bright image of the backlit subject.
For details on how to use the flash, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the flash.
Note
• The lens may block the light of the flash and a shadow may appear on the bottom of
the image. Remove the lens hood.
