TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors
in heavy shade, or on dark overcast
days, you need flash. Your camera has
an automatic flash that fires when you
need it. The special quench-flash
system of this camera shortens the
flash duration in close-up pictures. This
enhances your flash pictures and helps
to conserve battery life.
When you partially press down the
shutter button and the flash-ready lamp
glows green, the flash is fully charged
and ready for taking pictures.
4. Press the
SHUTTER
BUTTON

halfway down.
• When the subject is close to the
camera, the masking in the
viewfinder automatically changes to
adjust for close-up picture-taking.
5. Fully depress the shutter button to
take the picture.
• The lens barrel automatically
returns to the wide-angle position
after approximately 2 ½ minutes.
