Using the Flash (Super Intelligent Flash)
When the fl ash is used, the camera’s
Super Intelligent Flash
system instantly analyzes the scene based
on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the
camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed
while preserving the eff ects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the
fl ash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
