Shooting Features
C The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates the status of the flash when you press the
shutter-release button halfway.
• On: The flash fires when a picture is taken.
• Flashing: The flash is charging. The camera cannot take pictures.
• Off: The flash does not fire when a picture is taken.
If the battery level is low, the monitor turns off while the flash is
charging.
C The Flash Mode Setting
• The setting varies with the shooting mode.
➝ “Available Features” (A43)
➝ “Default Settings” (A52)
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A 56).
• The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C Effective Range of the Flash
The flash has a range of approx. 0.5–4.3 m (1 ft 8 in.–14 ft) at the maximum wide-angle zoom
position and a range of approx. 0.8–2.1 m (2 ft 8 in.–6 ft 10 in.) at the maximum telephoto zoom
position.
C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses “Advanced Red-Eye Reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix).”
If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-
eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
• In rare cases, areas of the image that are not affected by red-eye may be processed by red-eye
reduction. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
