TAKING A PICTURE
SETTING THE FLASH
How to set the flash:
1. Press repeatedly until the desired indicator appears on the LCD.
Flash Mode Description
Auto Flash The camera judges if a flash is required. If the environment is too dark, the flash will
fire.
Auto + Red-Eye Use this mode to significantly reduce the occurrence of “red- eye” in flash photography.
The camera will automatically detect when the flash is needed and the flash will fire
after a short delay.
Forced Flash Flash will fire in any lighting condition.
Flash off The flash will not fire in this mode. Please use this mode if you want to capture the
mood of the ambient lighting or to use the available light in places where flash
photography is prohibited, such as museums.
•To prevent blurry pictures in low light situations, hold the camera steady when
pressing the Shutter button or mount the camera on a tripod.
Note: The flash needs to recharge after it is fired. If the Shutter button is pressed while the flash is
charging, the Flash Ready LED will blink. Please wait a few moments and press the Shutter button again to
take a picture.
3. Recompose your picture. (fig.1.7)
• Keep the shutter pressed half-way while recomposing the picture.
4. Press the shutter button fully to capture the picture. (fig.1.8)
Note: The AF LED will continue blinking in the following conditions:
1. There are several subjects at different distances within the focus lock area.
Recompose the picture by moving the camera slightly.
2. There is no color contrast. Recompose the picture with a subject that contains
more color.
3. There is insufficient lighting. Increase the lighting in the surrounding area.
