● Shooting ●
If the flash is used in macro mode, the light may not
be controlled correctly. In this case, set a higher
ISO sensitivity or use other lightings instead of
using the flash.
When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and
using the built-in flash, there is more of a chance of
overexposure the closer you are to the subject.
Please note that a slow shutter speed will be
selected in dark places when the flash is set to off
or slow synchro. Be careful to avoid camera shake
under these conditions.
• Shooting in Mode
Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera
shake.
• Shooting in or / Mode
Fix the camera to a tripod since the shutter speed
will be slower than in the mode.
If an image is dark in mode, reshooting in
mode will make it brighter.
The flash may take approximately 10 seconds to
charge. The LCD monitor, if it is on, will go off
after the indicator flashes orange while
recharging. The LCD monitor will come back on
after the indicator lights a steady orange when
recharging is completed.
Recharging time may vary according to shooting
conditions and battery charge levels.
The flash fires twice. A preparatory pre-flash is
followed by the main flash. The exposure
readings obtained from the subject with the pre-
flash are used to set the optimal flash intensity
for the main flash, which is used to shoot the
image.
Red-Eye Reduction
Light reflecting back from the eyes may appear
red when the flash is used in dark places. Use
the auto red-eye reduction* for these situations.
For this mode to be effective, the subject must be
looking right at the red-eye reduction indicator.
Try asking them to look at the red-eye indicator.
Even better results can be obtained by
increasing the lighting in indoor settings or
coming closer to the subject.
The shutter will not activate for approximately 1
second after the red-eye reduction indicator
fires, even when the shutter button is pressed all
the way down in order to improve the effect. If
you want to have more immediate shutter
response, set the flash setting to either , or
