Using the Flash
Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy
shadows. You can only change the flash setting in Auto mode. Use the flash at
distances of 1.6-7.9 ft (0.5-2.4 m).
Setting the Flash Mode
Press the button repeatedly to scroll
through the flash options.
The active flash icon is displayed in the
camera screen status area (page 9).
Auto Flash—flash fires when
the lighting conditions require
it. When the picture is taken,
the camera flashes twice, once
to set the exposure and once to
take the picture.
Off—flash never fires.
Fill—flash fires every time
you take a picture, regardless
of the lighting conditions.
Red-eye—flash fires so the
subject’s eyes become
accustomed to the flash, then
fires again when the picture is
taken.
NOTE:
! Off and Fill flash options revert to Auto when the camera is turned off.
! When the picture is taken in Auto and Fill modes, the camera flashes
twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the picture. When the
picture is taken in Red-eye mode, the camera flashes three times, once
to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye, and once to take the
picture.
