To use the flash, raise it by pressing the N
button. Charging begins when the flash
is raised; once charging is complete, a
flash-ready indicator (N) will be displayed
when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. The following flash
modes are available; choose a flash mode
as described on the following page.
The Built-in Flash
N
Fill flash: The flash fires with every shot. Use when the subject is
poorly lit or with back-lit subjects to “fill in” (illuminate) shad-
ows.
NY
Red-eye reduction: The red-eye reduction lamp lights before the
flash fires, reducing “red-eye” caused by light reflecting from
your subject's retinas.
NYp
Red-eye reduction + slow sync: Combines red-eye reduction with
slow shutter speeds to capture background details at night or
under low light. Use for portraits taken against a backdrop of
night scenery.
Np
Fill flash + slow sync: Combines fill flash with slow shutter speeds
to capture details of poorly-lit backgrounds.
Nr
Rear curtain + slow sync: Combines rear-curtain sync (see below)
with slow shutter speeds to capture poorly-lit background
details.
Nq
Rear-curtain sync: While in other modes the flash fires as the shut-
ter opens, in rear-curtain sync the flash fires just before the
shutter closes, creating streams of light that appear to follow
moving light sources.

Lowering the Built-in Flash
To save power when the flash is not in use,
press it gently downward until the latch
clicks into place. Do not use force. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in prod-
uct malfunction.
