Taking Pictures using the Built-in Flash

SCN1 SCN2

When you set the flash, you can take pictures using the built-in flash according to the recording condition.

A: Photo flash

Do not cover it with your finger or any other items.

∫Switching to the appropriate flash setting

For the selectable flash settings, refer to “Available flash settings by recording mode” on P40.

: AUTO

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction

•The flash is activated 2 times. The first flash is activated only for a preparation of actual recording. The subject should not move until the second flash is finished.

•Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting conditions.

: Forced ON

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording condition.

•Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.

: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction

•The flash setting is set to Forced ON/ Red-eye reduction only when you set to [PARTY] in scene mode. (P56)

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction

When you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature makes the shutter speed slow when the flash is activated, so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.

•Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark background.

: Forced OFF

The flash is not activated in any recording condition.

•Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the flash is not permitted.

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appear red in the picture) by triggering the flash before actually recording the picture. After that, the flash is activated for actual recording again.
