Sony DSC-D700 - Manual (Page 75)

While pressing the shift button, turn the shift dial
to select a flash mode.
In conditions of insufficient light, the flash
automatically goes off. This is the default mode.
On
Choose this mode when you want the flash to go
off, for situations such as taking a picture of a
subject that is backlit.
Off
Choose this mode when you want to take a picture
with natural lighting or you don't want a strobe
effect in your picture.
External
Choose this mode when you want to take a picture
of a subject far from the camera and the light
from the built-in flash is insufficient.
In such a case, attach an external flash to take
pictures.
Flash modes are indicated on the LCD panel as
(Auto), ^ (On), (Off), and
(External).
Press the shift button.
The flash mode is set and the menu disappears.
Unless the shooting mode is set to manual
exposure, the shutter speed indicator or the
aperture indicator flashes when it is necessary to
use the flash. When this happens, press the Pop­
up key to open the built-in flash, or attach an
external flash to the hot shoe.
