Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures outdoors in heavy shadows, at night, or indoors. Flash is effective at the distances of 1.6 to 9.8 feet (0.5 to 3 m).

Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

The flash icon displayed on the LCD is the active option.

Current camera status icons are also displayed (see page 8). The LCD screen turns off after 3 seconds.

Auto Flash—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it. When the picture is taken, the camera flashes twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the picture.

Flash Off—flash never fires.

Fill Flash—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. When the picture is taken, the camera flashes twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the picture.

Red-eye—flash fires three times, once to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye, and once to take the picture. The Red-eye option remains in effect until you change it. See page 21 for an exception with Close-up.

NOTE: All flash options (except Red-eye) revert to Auto when the camera is turned off.

The camera uses slow shutter speeds in low-light conditions with the flash turned off. Take care to avoid camera shake; use a tripod or place the camera on a steady surface.
