T Using the Flash
Use the fl ash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
To choose a fl ash mode, press the selector right (T). The fl ash mode
changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the
current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the fol-
lowing options (some options are not available in all shooting modes; see
pg. 93):
