NUsing the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

When the fl ash is used, the camera’s Super-Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the fl ash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.
