Using the flash strobe
When the lighting is not sufficient for your shooting environment, the flash can provide the extra light you need.
Using the hot button
While in Digital Camera mode, pressing the Left button allows you to switch the flash mode without entering the options menu.
Pressing the hot button can cycle through three flash modes - Auto, Force, Off.
Auto mode ( A ): When the flash is set to Auto mode, the camera will automatically measure the lighting condition, and the flash will be activated if needed.
Force mode (
): When the flash is set to Force mode, the flash always fires no matter how the lighting condition is.
Off (no icon): The flash will not function when it is set
to Off.
When the battery power is low (with only one gauge left), the flash strobe cannot be activated due to insufficient power for recharge.
While the flash is being recharged, you cannot press the shutter button to take pictures.
