Using the flash

The camera offers four flash settings. The current flash setting is indicated by an icon on the status LCD. In addition, if the image display is on, a message appears about the flash setting in the status line.

Each time you turn the camera off and then on again, the flash setting automatically reverts to AUTO FLASH. If you change the setting, it remains until you change it or until you turn the camera off and on.
