MULTI PROGRAM FLASH A word on multi program flash
A new function which allows the camera to automatically adjust the quantity of light
emitted by the flash by analyzing the brightness of the subject, the distance, and the
focal length of the lens. The flash always fires automatically unless the subject is
bright or too far. This progr ammed flash allows any one to take clear pictures simply.
Some practical examples are introduced to explain the effects.
◆Close-up photography in a room or night scene
When close-up pictures are taken in a dim place with an ordinary flash, it fires at
100%. As a result, the subject is washed out by overexposure. The multi program
flash reduces the light quantity down to 12.5%, preventing overexposure.
