The Flash Lamp
The status of the flash can be confirmed by pressing the shutter-
release button halfway.
•
On: The flash fires when you press the shutter-release button all the
way down.
•
Flashing: The flash is charging. The camera cannot shoot images.
•
Off: The flash does not fire when an image is taken.
If the battery level is low, the monitor turns off while the flash is charging.

The Flash Mode Setting
•
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (
17).
•
The setting applied in
A
(auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is
turned off.

Red-eye Reduction
If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-
eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
•
More time than usual is required to save images.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
•
In some cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In these
cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.
