Flash range
The camera automatically controls the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’
wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.

Flash signals
The indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the
flash. When the lamp is red and blinks quickly, the flash is charging and
the shutter will not release. When the lamp turns green, the flash is
charged and ready to fire.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is prohibited, natural
light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range. The camera-shake
warning may appear when flash cancel is selected (p. 22).
Night portrait - for flash portraits at night. The camera automatical-
ly balances the flash and background exposures. When taking por-
traits, ask your subject not to move after the flash burst; the shutter
will still be open for the background exposure. The red-eye reduc-
tion function is used with night portrait. The use of a tripod is
advised in conjuction with this feature.
