BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using the Flash
Perform the following steps to select the flash mode you
want to use.
• The approximate effective range of the flash is shown
below.
Wide Angle: Approximately 0.4 meters to 3.6 meters
(1.3´ to 11.8´) (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)
Telephoto : Approximately 0.4 meters to 2.5 meters
(1.3´ to 8.2´) (ISO Sensitivity: Auto)

3.
Record the image.
IMPORTANT!
• Image recording may not be performed if you press
the shutter button while the flash is charging (which
is indicated by a flashing red operation lamp).
• Using the flash while “Auto” is selected for the ISO
Sensitivity setting increases sensitivity, which can
cause large amounts of digital noise to appear in the
image. You can reduce digital noise by using a lower
ISO Sensitivity setting. Note, however, that this also
has the effect of shortening the flash range (the
range that is covered by the light from the flash)
(page 133).
To do this:
Have the flash fire automatically when
required (Auto Flash)
Turn off the flash (Flash Off)
Always fire the flash (Flash On)
Fire a pre-flash followed by image
recording with flash, reducing the
chance of red-eye in the image (Red-
eye reduction)
In this case, the flash fires automatically
when required
