ADVANCED SHOOTING FEATURES
Night Scene
Use this mode when shooting a
subject against a night background.
In this mode, the flash fires at the
beginning of the shot to brighten the
subject and the shutter speed is
reduced to shoot the background out
of reach of the flash.
To prevent the background from blurring, it
is recommended to use a tripod in this
mode. Note that a moving subject will be
blurred.
Flash Off
Use this mode for shooting in
locations where flashes are prohibited
(such as a museum).
The shutter speed is reduced in dark
conditions. It is recommended to use a
tripod to prevent camera shake. Note that a
moving subject will be blurred.
ⅷ The blinking of the orange lamp on the right of the viewfinder indicates that the
flash is being recharged and shooting is not possible. Remove your finger from
the shutter button and retry shooting after the orange lamp turns off.
ⅷ In macro shooting ( Page 60), shadows may be conspicuous or correct
exposure may not be achieved. Always check your image on the monitor after
macro shooting.
ⅷ The flash overrides in the Continuous Shooting mode (
Page 62).
ⅷWhen the Red-Eye Reduction Flash mode is set, the setting is held in
memory even after the camera is turned off. Other flash mode settings
are reset to Auto when the camera is turned off.
ⅷThe flash working distance is approx. 0.2 ~ 3 m/0.7 ~ 9.8 ft.
