TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you
need flash. Your camera features automatic flash that fires when you need it. It also
provides automatic daylight fill flash under certain bright-light conditions where
shadows may exist. When you partially depress the shutter button (12) and the flash-
indicator lamp (20) glows red, the flash is fully charged and ready for picture-taking
(see table below for other Flash-Lamp Signals and page 8 for the recommended
Flash-to-Subject Distance).
