Shooting in the dark
•Flash options are not available if you set burst options or select
Self-Shot or Blink Detection.
•Make sure that your subjects are within the recommended distance
from the flash. (p. 102)
•If light from the flash is relected or there is a large amount of dust in
the air, tiny spots may appear in your photo.
Adjusting the ISO speed
The ISO speed is the measure of a film’s sensitivity to light as
defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The higher ISO speed you select, the more sensitive to light your
camera becomes. With a higher ISO speed, you can get a better
photo without using the flash.
