Using the Flash
Use the flash when you take pictures outdoors in heavy shadows, at night, or
indoors. Flash is effective between these distances:
m
Wide angle: 1.6 to 12.8 ft (0.5 to 3.9 m)
m
Telephoto: 1.6 to 7.5 ft (0.5 to 2.3 m)
Press the
button repeatedly to scroll
through the flash options.
The flash icon displayed on the LCD is the
active option.
Current camera status icons are also
displayed (see
). The flash screen
turns off after 3 seconds.
NOTE: All flash options (except Red-eye) revert to Auto when the camera is
turned off.
The camera uses slow shutter speeds in low-light conditions with the
flash turned off. Take care to avoid camera shake; use a tripod or place
the camera on a steady surface.
Auto Flash—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it.
Flash Off—flash never fires.
Fill Flash—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless
of the lighting conditions.
Red-eye—flash fires once so the subject’s eyes become
accustomed to the flash, then again when the picture is taken.
The Red-eye option remains in effect until you change it. See
for an exception with Close-up.
