Details about the flash mode

The flash function has the following 4 options:

[ ] Auto

The flash fires automatically according to the photographic situation.

[ ] Forced flash

The flash always fires. Select this option when the subject is backlit, or in artificial light (fluorescent lighting, etc.).

[ ] Suppressed flash

The flash does not fire. Select this option when taking photographs in sufficient indoor lighting or at distances too great for the flash to have any effect (theater performances, indoor sporting events, etc.).

[ ] Red-Eye Reduction

When photographed in dark places with a flash, peoples’ eyes in photographs are sometimes red. This “red-eye” effect is caused by the light of the flash reflecting the eyes. With this option selected, the flash fires before and when photographs are taken, so that the red-eye effect is reduced. To reduce the effect, you may also ask the subject to look directly towards the camera or you may photograph from as close as possible.

Notes

•When taking photographs indoors or in dark places, you may experience slower shutter


speed and see [	(unsteady hold warning)] icon on the LCD monitor. We recommend
you place the camera on a stable surface in order to avoid unsteady camera hold.
• When taking photographs of night view or other dark scenes, [			(long time exposure)]
icon may appear on the LCD monitor together with [		] icon. This designates that it takes

twice longer than usual at least because of a special processing in progress. Because the shutter speed will become slower than usual, place the camera on a stable surface to take photographs.

•The setting still remains after the power is turned off manually or by Auto Power Off.
