Adjusting flash output
Adjust the flash output when the subject is
small or reflection ratio is extremely high or
low.
1 Press 3 several times until
[ FLASH] appears and then set
the flash output.
You can adjust this from j2EV to
i2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.
The determined flash output is
memorized even if the camera is turned
off.
In motion image mode [ ], simple
mode [ ], [SCENERY], [NIGHT
SCENERY] or [FIREWORKS] in scene
mode (P60), you cannot adjust the flash
output.
If the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], it is
automatically adjusted from [ISO100] to
[ISO400] when you use the flash. To avoid
noise, decrease the ISO sensitivity.
In [NIGHT PORTRAIT] in scene mode
(P60), flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./
Red-eye reduction [ ].
In motion image mode [ ], [SCENERY],
[NIGHT SCENERY] or [FIREWORKS] in
scene mode (P60), the flash mode is fixed
to the Forced OFF [ ] even if the flash is
opened.
Do not stare at the photo flash from
close proximity when using the flash.
If you bring the flash too close to the
subjects, they may appear distorted or
discolored by its heat and lighting.
Do not cover the photo flash with your
fingers or any other items.
When you take a picture beyond the flash
control range, the exposure may not be
adjusted properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.
When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
flash is activated. Take a picture after the
card access lamp disappears.
When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using the flash.
When you set to burst mode or auto
bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for
every flash activated.
The flash icon turns red when activating
the flash and pressing the shutter button
halfway.
When the flash is being charged, the flash
icon blinks red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
When taking a picture with the flash,
we recommend removing the lens
hood. In some cases it may not allow
the scene to be illuminated properly.
Do not close the flash soon after the flash
is activated prior to taking pictures due to
AUTO/Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a
malfunction.
When taking a picture with the flash, the
white balance will be automatically
adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight) and
[ ] (Flash)], but the white balance may
not be properly adjusted if the photo flash
is insufficient.
When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
To avoid picture noise, we recommend
setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P76)
Refer to P70 for the ISO sensitivity.
