Taking Good Pictures
Flash Off (Flash Override)
This setting turns the flash off. The flash will not fire, regardless of the light conditions.
HELP
• If ambient light is low, the green lamp
may begin to blink rapidly when you half-
press the shutter button. This informs you
that the image may be blurred unless you
use a tripod.
Use this mode when you do not want the flash to fire under any circumstances. This
mode is useful when you are taking pictures in a museum (where flash is not allowed)
or when trying to get certain types of night shots.
Keep in mind that without the flash the camera may need to hold the shutter open for a
relatively long time in order to make the exposure. For this reason, it is recommended
that you use a tripod to keep the camera steady. Shots of moving subjects are likely to
appear blurred, since the shutter may not close fast enough to freeze the image.
Fill-In
Forces the flash to fire on every shot.
This mode forces the flash to fire on every shot, regardless of ambient light conditions.
This is useful when you need to add fill-in light.You might want to use it, for example,
when the overall scene is bright but your subject is in a localized area of shade (such
as under a tree), or when the background is brighter than the subject, or when
shooting indoors under fluorescent lighting. Note that this feature may be relatively
ineffective if you are working in an extremely bright environment.
