Shooting When the Flash is Disabled (
W

•
Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of
camera shake.
•
E
may be displayed in the shooting screen. When
E
is displayed, ISO sensitivity is
automatically increased.
•
The noise reduction function may be activated with some shooting conditions such as dim
lighting. More time than usual is required to record pictures to which noise reduction is applied.

Note on the Flash
When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures.
To reduce these reflections, set the flash to
W
(off).
C
The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
•
On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
•
Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try
again.
•
Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.
If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off,
and remain off, until the flash is fully charged.

There are functions with which the flash cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that Cannot Be
Applied Simultaneously” (
51) for more information.
The flash mode setting applied in
A
(auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C
Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
If the camera detects “red eye” while a picture is being recorded, the affected area will be processed
to reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note the followings when shooting.
•
More time than usual is required to record pictures.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
•
In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction
processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
