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 an
automatic flash that fires when you need
it and provides automatic daylight fill flash
under certain bright-light conditions
where shadows may exist. The flip-up
flash also helps to minimize red eyes in
flash pictures and to prevent hand
obstruction in front of the flash.
When you partially depress the shutter
button and the flash-ready lamp glows
green, the flash is fully charged and ready
for picture-taking (see the following tables
for Flash-lamp signals and Flash-to-
subject distance).
1. Lift the LENS COVER/FLASH (3) up to
uncover the LENS (7) and to activate
the flash.
2. Take the picture when the FLASH-READY
LAMP
(13 ) glows green.
• The LCD panel will display
“FLASH
NOT READY”
message when the
flash is not fully charged.
3. Keep the subject within the distance
range for the speed of film in your
camera. Don’t take pictures beyond the
maximum distance or your pictures will
be dark.
