m Using the Flash
Flash mode can be selected to suit the shooting conditions.
When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, the flash has a range of 0.5-4.0 m (1 ft.
8 in.-13 ft.) at the maximum wide-angle zoom position and a range of 0.5-2.5 m
(1 ft. 8 in.-8 ft. 2 in.) at the maximum telephoto zoom position.
Note that in G (easy auto) mode (A 24), only a Auto (default setting) and c
Off are available. When a Auto is selected, the camera sets the flash mode
according to the automatically selected scene mode.
In auto shooting mode (A 53), some scene modes (A 61), or smart portrait
mode (A 72), the following flash modes are available.
a Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
b Auto with red-eye reduction
Suited to pictures of people, this option reduces the “red-eye” phenomenon
(A 35).
c Off
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
X Fill flash
Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
d Slow sync
a (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed.
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.
Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture
background at night or under dim lighting.
