Recording images (basic)
34
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the flash fire
and the shutter speed slow, so that the dark
background landscape will become bright.
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye
phenomenon. We recommend that you use a
tripod.
: Forced OFF
Even in dark places, the flash does not fire.
Set it when you take pictures in places where
using flash is not allowed.
• Do not stare at the flash light from close proximity when using the flash.
• The available flash range is about 1.64 feet (50 cm) - 4.59 feet (140 cm)(Tele),
0.98 feet (30 cm) - 7.87 feet (2.4 m)(Wide).
• When the camera shake alert is displayed within the available flash range, we
recommend using the flash.
• Do not cover the flash sensor 1 with your fingers or other items. Otherwise,
brightness cannot be perceived.
• In landscape mode [ ]/motion image mode [ ], flash setting is fixed to the
Forced OFF [ ].
• When you set to burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is taken for every flash
firing.
• The flash indication becomes red when pressing the shutter button halfway.
• When the flash/access indication 2 and the flash indication blink red, you cannot
take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully.
• If the battery indicator is less than or setting [ECONOMY] to [ON], the LCD
monitor turns off during charging the flash.
• When using the flash, do not let subjects get too close to the flash. The shape or
color of subjects may be changed because of the heat and light of the flash.
• When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance will be automatically
adjusted (for AUTO and Halogen mode), but the white balance may not be
properly adjusted when the Photo Flash is insufficient.
• When taking a picture with the flash after setting the white balance manually, the
white balance may not be properly adjusted. We recommend setting the white
balance to [AUTO] when using the flash. (P49)
