• Built-in Speedlight and TTL Flash modes
This camera is equipped with a built-in Speedlight that provides an angle
of coverage for a 28mm lens with a guide number of 12 (ISO 100, m) or 40 (ISO 100, ft.). When the subject is dark or backlit (except in ~ or ~Qj),
in 8 (AUTO mode) or Vari -Program, the built-in Speedlight automatically pops up. When the shutter is released, the flash fires to create natural- looking flash photography utilizing Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash.
In P (Auto- Multi Program), S (Shutter-Priority Auto), A (Aperture-Priority Auto) or M (Manual) exposure mode, when the subject is dark or backlit, flash recommended indication ~ blinks in the viewfinder, and the Speedlight pops up when the Speedlight lock-release button is pressed and the Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash is possible. (In Manual exposure mode, Standard TTL Flash is selected.) In addition to shooting in dim light, the flash can be used in daylight to reduce shadows on the main subject or to put catchlights in your subject'seyes.
Five flash sync modes-Front-Curtain Sync (Normal Sync), Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync, Red-Eye Reduction and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync-are available with this camera.
•See below for the TIL Flash modes, page 80 for using the built-in Speedlight and page 78 for the flash sync modes.

Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash
Matrix Balanced Fill-Flash is automatically set in
8, Vari-Program, P, S or A exposure mode. In this flash mode, a well-balanced exposure of the main subject (subject in focus) and the background is achieved-based on the brightness sensed by the Matrix Metering.
Standard TTL Flash
Standard TIL Flash is automatically selected when the exposure mode is set to M . In Standard TIL Flash, the main subject is correctly exposed but background exposure is not considered . Standard TIL Flash is useful when you want to highlight the main subject.
