Beyond the Basics
This chapter describes how to use the built-in flash, change the camera’s
settings, connect your camera to a computer, and delete pictures from the
camera’s memory.
Using the Flash
The built-in flash has three settings: “Auto”, “On”, and “Off”. The camera’s
current flash setting is displayed in the control display panel.
Auto When the flash is set to “Auto”, the camera's internal auto
exposure circuitry will automatically activate the flash when
lighting is poor. This setting is the best choice in most
circumstances.
Off When set to “Off”, the flash will not be activated even when
light is inadequate. Set the flash to “Off” when you have
prepared your own lighting effects, when you wish to
capture natural lighting under low light conditions, or where
use of a flash is prohibited.
On If the flash is set to “On,” the flash will be activated
whenever the shutter release button is fully depressed. Set
the flash to “On” to “fill-in” a back-lit subject.
Note: When using the flash to take portraits of people or animals, you may
wish to use the red-eye reduction setting described in the following section,
“Red-Eye Reduction.”
Note: When using the flash, be careful not to place your finger over the
flash window.
