Basic shooting functions

Flash shooting

Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you

want to achieve.

Flash working range

W (max.): Approx. 0.2 m to 3.7 m (0.7 ft. to 12.1 ft.)

T (max.): Approx. 0.6 m to 2.1 m (2.0 ft. to 6.9 ft.)

Auto-flash (No indication)

The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.

Red-eye reduction flash (!)

The light from the flash may make the

subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.

The red-eye reduction flash mode

reduces this phenomenon by emitting

pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.

Fill-in flash (#)

The flash fires regardless of the available light.

This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on

the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree

leaves), in a backlight situation, or for

correcting the color shift produced by artificial

lighting (especially fluorescent light).

Flash off ($)

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where

flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when

shooting landscapes, sunsets, and other subjects outside the range of the flash.

Note

• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.

Hold the camera firmly, and prevent it from moving.

• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-

flashes, or if the shooting subject is too far. Individual physical characteristics

may also limit effectiveness.

Note

• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Note

• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in

the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from

being blurred by camera movement.

The subject’s eyes appear red.
