Flash fires at the end of long exposures.
The flash mode can be changed in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80). For the
flash to fire, the unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the selected mode regardless of the
amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the camera sensitivity is automatically set between
ISO 100 and 200. This setting can be changed using the function dial (p. 44). The auto-white-balance
setting will give priority to the flash’s color temperature. If preset or custom white-balance settings are
used, priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature (p. 62).
Fill-flash can be used as the main or sup-
plementary light. In low-light conditions, the
flash will act as the main source of illumina-
tion and overpower the ambient light. Under
strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the
fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.
