T Using the Flash
Use the ash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
To choose a ash mode, press the selector right (T). The ash mode changes each
time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the current mode is indi-
cated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the following options (some options
are not available in all shooting modes; see another sheet):
Mode

Description
Description
AUTO (no icon) The ash res when required. Recommended in most situations.
V (red-eye
reduction)
As above, except that red-eye reduction is used to minimize “red-eye” caused by
light from the ash re ecting from the subject’s retinas as shown in the illustra-
tion at right.
T (forced ash)
The ash res whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration
when shooting in bright light.
X (suppressed
a s h )
The ash does not re even when the subject is poorly lit.
b
will appear in the monitor at
slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended.
U (slow sync)
Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that
brightly lit scenes may be overexposed). W combines slow sync with red-eye reduction. If
I is selected for A SHOOTING MODE, shutter speed may be slow. Use a tripod.
W (slow sync with
red-eye reduction)
If the ash will re, K will be displayed in the monitor when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
3 Caution
The ash may re several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
