Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the fl ash is used, the camera’s Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes
the scene based on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position
in the frame, and its distance from the camera. Flash output and sensitivity
are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while pre-
serving the eff ects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor
scenes. Use the fl ash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at
night or indoors under low light.
Tap the fl ash icon and choose from the following fl ash modes:
