CARD

Using the Flash

As shutter speed will slow down when still photos are recorded in dim lighting, camera shake may easily occur. We recommend you use a flash in this case.

Normally, the flash fires automatically depending on the recording conditions (during Auto). You can also set the flash to On (always fires) or Off (does not fire).
