GETTING STARTED (CONTINUED)
SETTING THE FLASH
Your camera is equipped with two flash modes. To change the Flash mode, press the SELECT/Flash button until the Flash indicator lights or turns off as follows:
Flash On (“ appears” in the display): The auto flash is enabled. Whenever a picture is taken, and there is insufficient lighting, the flash will fire. This mode will eliminate the need of turning it on or off depending on light conditions. When this option is selected, the flash will charge and the green LED inside the viewfinder will light when it is fully charged and ready to fire.
Flash Off (“ does” NOT appear in the display): The flash is disabled.
The flash range is approximately 18 inches to 6 feet (50cm to 2m).
NOTES:
•When the battery indicator starts blinking, the batteries'level is low and the flash option cannot be activated.
•The shooting range is approximately 18 inches to infinity (50cm to infinity).
•Flash Off is a great feature that allows you to utilize only existing light, such as a sunset. This feature is also called "museum mode", as many museums do not allow flash photography inside their premises.
•The Flash Mode setting will revert back to the factory default (Flash Off) every time the camera is turned off.
•The flash cannot be enabled when using it in the Movie mode (described later in this manual).
