The flash fires with automatic adjustments
when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto] in the Rec.
menu. When shooting in mode, or with
[Flash Adjust] set to [Manual], the flash fires
with the manually set adjustments.
When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto], the flash
fires twice. A pre-flash will fire and will be
followed by the main flash. The pre-flash is
used by the camera to obtain the subject's
exposure data so that the main flash can be
set to the optimal intensity for the shot.
The fastest shutter speed for flash
synchronization is 1/250 second. The camera
automatically resets the shutter speed to 1/250
second if a faster speed is selected.
Shots cannot be taken while the flash is
charging.
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.
