Fill in:

Red-eye*:

dark.

Auto: The flash fires automatically when the subject or background is dark.

The options may differ depending on the shooting mode.

•Flash options are not available if you set burst options or select Blink Detection.

•If light from the flash is relected or there is a large amount of dust in the air, tiny spots may appear in your photo.

Adjusting the ISO speed

The ISO speed is the measure of a film’s sensitivity to light as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The higher ISO speed you select, the more sensitive to light your camera becomes. With a higher ISO speed, you can get a better photo without using the flash.

1	In Shooting mode, press [	].
2	Select Shooting → ISO → an option.

•Select to use an appropriate ISO speed based on the brightness of the subject and lighting.

•The higher ISO speed you select, the more image noise you may get.

•When you select Motion Capture, the camera sets the ISO speed to Auto.
