| The flash will be used if needed. | |
|
| reduction minimizes the occurrence of |
|
| pictures of people or animals by emitting several |
|
| short flashes to condition the subject’s eyes to |
|
| the flash, followed by a final flash to take the |
|
| picture. If you are photographing people, tell |
|
| them to wait for the final flash before moving. |
FLASH ON The flash will be used in all lighting conditions. The amount of light provided by the flash will be adjusted according to the current lighting conditions. Use this setting when the lighting for the entire picture is sufficient, but the lighting for the subject is not, as in a backlighting situation. This is commonly called “fill flash.”
FLASH OFF The flash will not be used, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use this setting in places where flash photography is not permitted. If necessary, use a tripod to hold the camera steady. The message HOLD STEADY may appear in the status line when you press the shutter botton.

1Turn on the camera.
2Press the FLASH ( 
) button repeatedly until the flash setting you want appears on the status LCD.
