K Using the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the 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 preserving the e ects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. 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 (K). In modes other than
AUTO, the current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose
from the following options (some options are not available in all shooting
