Taking pictures by using the flash
Taking a picture using the flash becomes possible by opening
the built-in flash.
A To open the flash
Turn the camera on, and press the flash open button.
B To close the flash
Push the top part of the built-in flash from directly above.
•
Forcibly closing the flash can damage the camera.
• Make sure to close the built-in flash when it is not in use.
• The flash setting is fixed to [Œ] while the flash is closed.
• Be careful not to catch a finger when closing a flash bulb.
Applicable modes:
Forcing the flash off ([Œ])
When the flash is closed or pictures cannot be taken with the flash due to motion picture
recording, etc., [Œ] (forced flash off) is displayed on the recording screen and the flash
will not fire.
•
Close the flash in places where its use is prohibited so that it will not fire.
Using the flash skillfully
• When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close.
If [Highlight] of the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black
and white when you play back or use Auto Review. In this case, we recommend that you
adjust [Flash Adjust.]
(P186) in the minus direction and record the pictures again.
• When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo
may turn dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
