AFully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto)

The flash fired even though it was daylight.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s dark areas. There are two ways to disable the flash:

•Set the flash setting to [b] (Flash off). If you change the shooting mode or set the power switch to <2>, the setting will revert back to [a] (Auto flash) (p.81).

•Set the Mode Dial to <7> (Flash Off) (p.63).

The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright. Move further from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes. Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called AF-assist beam. Its effective range is approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet.

When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark.

The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because the subject was too close to the camera. Move further from the subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.
