Suppressed Flash

Pressing the flash down switches the camera to
Suppressed Flash mode.
Use this mode for photography using indoor
lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for
photography in venues such as theaters or at
indoor sporting events where the distance is too
great for the flash to be effective. When you use
Suppressed Flash, the Auto White Balance
function (P.130) operates so that natural colors
are captured along with the ambience of the
available light.
!
If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark
conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
!
See P.26, 122 for information on the camera shake
warning.
