reduce the red-eye effect by using the red-
eye reduction function.

The fl ash fi res regardless of the available light.
The intensity of the fl ash will be automatically
controlled to suit the prevailing conditions.

to obtain a balanced correct exposure. In
poor lighting conditions the camera shake
warning indicator (

LCD monitor.

The fl ash does not fi re.
Select this mode when capturing images in a
place or situation where fl ash photography is
prohibited. When you capture an image in a
poorly lit condition, the camera shake warn-

monitor.
Red-eye reduction
When a shot with "red eye" is detected, this
mode will reduce the red-eye effect automati-
cally.
If you press the shutter button after selecting the Auto, Fill-in, Slow
synchro fl ash, the fi rst fl ash fi res to check the shooting condition (Flash
range and Power ratio of fl ash).
Do not move the camera until the second fl ash fi res.
Using the fl ash frequently will reduce the life of the battery.
Under normal operating conditions the re-charging time for the fl ash is
usually within 5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will
be longer.
In the ASR mode, [Landscape], [Close up], [Text], [Sunset], [Dawn],
[Firework], [Self Shot], [Food], [Cafe] scene modes and the Movie clip
mode, the fl ash function will not operate.
Take photographs within the fl ash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly
refl ective.
When taking an image in poorly lit conditions with the fl ash, there may
be a white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the
fl ash light refl ecting off atmospheric dust.
