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 press
2/1 to set the flash output.
Select [0] to return to the original flash
output.
2 Press [MENU/SET] to finish.
You can adjust from [j2EV] to [i2EV]
in steps of [1/3 EV].
When the flash output is adjusted, the
flash output value appears on the upper
left of the screen.
The flash output setting is memorized
even if the camera is turned off.
In motion picture mode [ ], simple
mode [ ] and [SCENERY] (P60),
[NIGHT SCENERY] (P61),
[FIREWORKS] (P63) or [STARRY SKY]
(P63) in scene mode, you cannot adjust
the flash output.
Do not look directly at the flash at
close range when it is activated.
Do not bring the flash too close to
objects or close the flash while it is
activated. The objects may be
discolored by its heat or lighting.
Do not cover the photo flash with your
fingers or other objects.
If you press the shutter button halfway
when the flash is activated, the flash icon
turns red.
When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod.
When you take a picture beyond the
available flash range, the exposure may
not be adjusted properly and the picture
may become bright or dark.
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, the
white balance is automatically adjusted
[except for [ ] (Daylight), [ ] (Flash)].
However, the white balance may not be
properly adjusted if the flash level is
insufficient. (P75)
When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
If you repeat taking a picture, it may not
actually be taken even if the flash is
activated. Take a picture after the access
indication disappears.
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.
The red-eye reduction effect differs
between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not
looking at the first flash, the effect may not
be evident.
When using a conversion lens, the built-in
flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ].
When you set burst mode or auto bracket,
only 1 picture is recorded for every flash
activated.
