Using the built-in flash
- 106 -
You can use the built-in flash to take pictures in dark locations or light up a subject to
reduce its contrast to a bright background.
Open the built-in flash
■
Close the built-in flash
When you do not want to use the flash or after
using it, press it down until it clicks into position.
●
Be careful not to catch a finger or any other part of your body or any object when you
close the flash.
●
Do not cover the light-emitting area of the flash with your hands or look at it from
close range. Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may
damage the subject).
●
Do not close the flash immediately after the initial flash is fired prior to taking
pictures for Auto/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash
immediately, it will cause a malfunction.
●
When the flash is being charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you fully press the shutter button.
●
The flash effect may not be sufficient in the following cases:
• With slow shutter speeds
• When [Burst Shooting] is set to [ ]
●
Flash charging may take longer if the battery is low or after using the flash repeatedly.
●
When an external flash unit is attached, it will have priority over the built-in flash. (→198)
