Using Flash

124

Selecting the flash firing pattern

• The shutter will not release while the orange lamp is blinking because the

flash is being charged. Release the shutter button and wait until the orange

lamp goes off before taking the picture.

• When you are using the flash in Macro mode, especially for wide-angle

shooting, the flash may fail to illuminate part of the subject, resulting in

uneven lighting. Always check the result on the monitor.

• See P.131 for information on using external flash.

• The flash cannot be used in Sequence mode. (P.113)

Use the information given below as a guide to selecting the best flash mode

for the photography conditions. See P.73 for information on using flash to take

pictures.

If you select a setting other than Auto-Flash, the

flash mode is displayed on the control panel.

The flash modes change in the cycle shown below each time you press the
