Slow sync.

This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground (subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground (subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.

Forced off.

The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.

•Flash function is only available in shooting still images but not available in Burst and AEB modes.

•Do not try to change the flash while pressing the zoom button. Change the flash after releasing the zoom button if necessary.

Setting the Focus Mode

This function allows users to define the type focus when recording a still image or a video clip.

To set the Focus mode

•Press the Macro button repeatedly until the desired focus mode icon is displayed on the lower left corner of the LCD monitor.

Macro/left button

This camera supports the following four focus modes:

Normal.

With normal focus, the focus range starts from 0.4m (about 16 inches) to near infinity. When the camera is set to Normal mode, there is no icon displayed on the screen.

Macro.

This mode is designed for close-up photography. This mode should be used for subjects closer that are 0.4 m (or 16 inches) from the lens. If Macro is enabled, the camera can capture the detail and sharpness of a very close subject by fixed focus.

Macro enabled
