K Using the Flash
Use the flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
To choose a flash mode, press the selector right (K). The flash mode
changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the
current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the
following options (some options are not available in all shooting modes;
see the restrictions in another supplied document):
Mode Mode Description Description
AUTO (no icon) The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations.
S (red eye
reduction)
Recommended to take a portrait shot in the dark. Red-eye can be reduced.
K (fill flash)
The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration
when shooting in bright light.
W (suppressed
flash)
The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. 0 will appear in the monitor at
slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended.
T (slow sync)
Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that
brightly lit scenes may be overexposed). If U is selected for a SHOOTING MODE, shutter
speed may be slow. Use a tripod. In Z mode, red-eye can be reduced.
Z (red eye
reduction +
slow sync)
If the flash will fire, X will be displayed in the monitor when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
C Caution
The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
