USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

In Full- Auto mode (P), the built-in flash pops-up automatically when the shutter release button is pressed partway down. Once the flash is up, it will fire when necessary.

•The shutter will not release until the flash is charged.

•Select flash cancel ( ) when you don’t want the flash to fire.

•Pressing the program-reset button (P) resets the flash to autoflash mode.

Do not use the built-in flash with focal lengths shorter than 28mm. The built-in flash cannot cover focal lengths wider than 28mm.

Custom Function 5 (p72) lets you cancel the built-in flash’s auto pop-up feature. When selected, the flash-mode button must be pressed to raise the built-in flash.
