Using the Built-in Flash
In low-light or backlit conditions, the built-in flash will pop up and fire
automatically (except in <I> <P> modes).
In a Basic Zone Mode
In a Creative Zone Mode
S : Use this mode for automatic flash photography. The flash
sync speed (within 1/60 sec. - 1/125 sec) and aperture value
will be set automatically as with the <Y> (Full Auto) mode.
R : Use this mode if you want to set the flash sync speed
manually (within 30 sec. - 1/125 sec.). The camera will set the
flash aperture value automatically to obtain a correct flash
exposure.
E : Use this mode if you want to set the flash aperture value.
The camera will set the flash sync speed (within 30 sec. -
1/125 sec.) automatically to obtain the best exposure for the
aperture you set. For portraits with a night scene or dark
background, a slow sync speed will be set to obtain a proper
exposure for both the subject and background. The flash
illuminates the subject, while the background is properly
exposed with a slow shutter speed.
•
Because automatic slow-sync shooting uses a slow shutter
speed, always use a tripod.
W : Enables you to manually set the shutter speed (30 sec. -
1/125 sec. or bulb) and aperture. The subject is properly
exposed with the flash and the background is exposed with the
flash sync speed and aperture value you have set.
Q : This mode gives the same flash result as the <S> mode.
Just pop-up the built-in flash to fire the flash regardless of the ambient
light level.
