Using the flash
When taking photos in difficult lighting conditions,
use the flash to get correct exposure. This function
cannot be activated for recording video.
To activate the flash:
• Press on the navigation control repeatedly until
the flash mode you want is displayed on the LCD.
Your camera is equipped with five flash modes:
Using the self-timer
Self-timer lets you take photos after a 10-second
delay. This function is available only when
capturing still images. When the self-timer is turned
on, the icon is displayed on the LCD.
The self-timer setting is automatically set to Off
when you turn your camera on or off.
To turn on the self-timer:
1 Press on the navigation control to turn on
the self-timer. When the self-timer is turned on,
the shutter release is delayed for 10 seconds.
2 Press the shutter button to take the photo. Your
camera will take the photo 10 seconds later.
Using the macro feature
Your camera is equipped with a macro feature that
lets you focus on very close subjects.
To use the macro feature:
1 Press on the navigation control. The macro
icon appears on the LCD.
2 Aim your camera at the subject you want to
capture.
3 Half-press the shutter button to focus.
4 Fully press the shutter button to capture the
image or video.
Auto flash—Flash fires automatically when shooting
conditions require extra lighting.
Red-eye reduction—Flash fires twice--once to let the
subject’s eyes adjust to the flash, then again to take the
actual image.
Force on—Flash fires every time you take a photo,
regardless of lighting conditions.
Slow sync (fill flash)—Flash fires with a slow shutter
speed. Ideal for situations where additional lighting is
needed for subjects in the foreground.
Flash off—The flash never fires, regardless of lighting
conditions.
Notes
• Flash charging time may increase when the
batteries are low.
• Hold the camera steady, or mount it on a tripod,
to reduce blurring when using the slow sync
flash mode.
