When Lighting Is Poor: Using the Flash
The following flash modes are available:
To select the flash mode:
Flash Range
Flash range varies with zoom position. The range at minimum zoom is 0.4 - 3.3m (1’4” - 10’10”)
and 0.4 - 3.4 m (1’4” - 11’2”) at maximum zoom.
Mode How it works When to use it
!#
Auto
Flash fires when lighting is
poor.
Best choice in most situations.
%
Auto with
red-eye
reduction
Red-eye reduction lamp
fires before main flash,
reducing “red-eye.”
Use for portraits (works best when sub-
ject is well within range of flash and
looking at pre-flash). When using this
mode, the red-eye reduction function
will also work automatically for the pic-
ture recorded. Not recommended when
quick shutter response is required.
$
Flash Cancel
(off)
Flash will not fire even
when lighting is poor.
Use to capture natural lighting under
dim light or where use of flash is prohib-
ited. If 2 (camera shake) icon appears,
care should be taken to avoid blurring.
!
Anytime Flash
(fill flash)
Flash fires whenever picture
is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
k
(Slow sync)
Auto flash combined with
slow shutter speeds. Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light.
