N 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 (N). The 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.

Description
AUTO (no icon) The ash res when required. Recommended in most situations.
N (forced ash)
The ash res whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration
when shooting in bright light.
P (suppressed ash)
The ash does not re even when the subject is poorly lit. k will appear in the monitor
at slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recom-
mended.
O (slow synchro)
Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that
brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).
If the ash will re, p 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.
