FLASH MODES
The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses
with focal lengths from 28mm of longer. When using
lenses shorter than 28mm, the corners of the image
will not be fully illuminated. Remove the lens hood to
prevent lens shadowing, see page 75. The shutter
will not release while the flash is charging. Push
down the built-in flash when the camera is not in
use.
Autoflash - the built-in-flash pops up automatically when
flash illumination is required. Only available with full-auto
program, program, and subject programs (p. 32).
Fill flash - the flash fires with each exposure regardless of
the ambient light. Fill flash can be used to reduce harsh
shadows caused by strong direct light or sunshine.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Used when flash
photography is prohibited, natural light is desired to
illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash
range.
When using aperture-priority, shutter-priority, or manual exposure
mode, the flash is set to flash cancel. To use fill flash, press the
flash-mode button to raise the flash. For accessory-flash
information, see page 76.
