FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
1. If flash is required, the Flash Unit automatically pops up when the shutter
Release Button is pressed halfway and its power source automatically turns on.
(Fig. 32)
2. Release the Shutter Release Button completely and wait for the Flash Ready
Lamp to become lit. Then take the picture. (Fig. 33)
(If the Shutter Release Button is then pressed before the flash is ready, the shutter
will be released immediately after the flash becomes fully charged.)
3. When you have completed flash photography, please be sure to push the Flash
Unit down. This turns off the flash power source and conserves your battery. (Fig.
34)
* After the Flash Unit pops up, it will take about 2 seconds to charge. For the next
5 minutes, flash recharging will continue to allow a constant flash capability.
However, to prevent battery drain, if no flash pictures are taken for 5 minutes, flash
recharging will stop and the Flash Ready Light will go off. Even after recharging
stops, when the Flash Unit is left popped up, it will start to recharge again when the
Shutter Release Button is pressed halfway.

* Recommended flash shooting range 0.8 m~3.2 m (2.6~10.5 ft)
* Be careful not to put your fingers in front of the flash window. (Fig. 35)
Daytime Synchronization
When taking pictures of backlit subjects, the camera automatically compensates for
the lighting situation. If the subject is backlit and is at least 3 meters from the
camera, the Auto Back Light Control (ABLC) will be activated. If the subject is
within 3 meters of the camera, the strobe pops up automatically and compensation
is done via daylight synchronization. Thus, even with backlit subjects, trouble-free,
natural-looking pictures can be taken. (Fig. 36)
