Tutorial—Basic Photography

In

mode, the camera automatically sets shut-

ter speed and aperture when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. Before shooting, check
the shut ter-speed and aperture in di ca tors in the
viewfi nder. If the photo would be overexposed
at cur rent settings,

will be displayed; use an

optional Neutral Density (ND) fi lter. If the photo
would be underexposed, the built-in Speedlight
will pop up automatically, and fi re when the pho-
tograph is taken.

The Built-in Speedlight

If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in

, , , and modes, the built-in Speedlight will pop

up automatically when the shutter-release is pressed
halfway (

94). When the built-in Speedlight is raised,

photographs can only be taken when the fl ash-ready
indicator is displayed. If the fl ash-ready indicator is not
displayed, remove your fi nger briefl y from the shutter-
release button and try again.

If desired, the fl ash can be turned off so that it will not
fi re even when lighting is poor. A red-eye reduction
mode is also available for reducing “red-eye” caused by
light refl ecting from the subject’s retinas (

95).

When the Speedlight Is Not in Use

To save battery power when the Speedlight is not in use, return it to the closed position
by pressing it gently downward until the latch clicks into place.
