BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

To do this:

Select this setting:

Have the flash fire automatically when required (Auto Flash)

Turn off the flash (Flash Off)

Always fire the flash (Flash On)

Always use high-intensity flash, regardless of exposure (High-power Flash)

• You can increase sensitivity, which will brighten subjects that are further away, as required.

Always use soft flash, regardless of exposure conditions (Soft Flash)

Fire a pre-flash followed by image recording with flash, reducing the chance of red-eye in the image (Red- eye reduction)

In this case, the flash fires automatically when required

3.Press the shutter button to record the image.

IMPORTANT!

•The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times when you record an image. The initial flashes are pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain information that it uses for exposure settings. The final flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases.

•Using the flash while “Auto” is selected for the ISO Sensitivity setting increases sensitivity, which can cause large amounts of digital noise to appear in the image. You can reduce digital noise by using a lower ISO Sensitivity setting. Note, however, that this also has the effect of shortening the flash range (the range that is covered by the light from the flash) (page 142).
