d Setting the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
Flash photography is useful for taking pictures at night or
indoor dark locations. Choose from 7 flash modes
according to the type of shot. See p.51 for information on
the available Photography modes.
MEMO What is Intelligent Flash?
The Intelligent Flash feature instantly determines the
subject’s position, distance from the camera, exposure,
etc., and automatically adjusts the camera settings to the
optimal flash volume and sensitivity for the scene. Even
dimly lit indoor scenes can be shot beautifully, just as they
appear, without subjects being washed out or losing
background details.
The Intelligent Flash feature is always used when
shooting with flash.
