[f] Forced Flash

In this mode, the flash always operates.

Use Forced Flash to shoot pictures in backlit conditions or artificial light (fluorescent lighting, etc.), to shoot portraits against night scenes, or in Macro mode.

nNOTES

•When you shoot a portrait in Forced Flash mode against a night scene, the shutter speed is slower (slow-synchro photography) and the camera shake warning is displayed. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake if the viewfinder lamp flashes green, the camera shake icon “B” appears if the LCD monitor is ON, when the shutter button is pressed.

•In Macro mode, the flash only operates when Forced Flash (aP.39) is specified.

[g] Suppressed Flash

Use Suppressed Flash mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the flash to have any effect, such as theatre performances or indoor sporting events.

This mode stops the flash from operating.

∗If you use Suppressed Flash mode in dark conditions, the shutter speed is slower and the camera shake warning is displayed. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake if the viewfinder lamp flashes green, the camera shake icon “B” appears if the LCD monitor is ON, when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

nNOTE

When the camara is set to Red-Eye Reduction, Forced Flash, or Suppressed Flash mode, the flash mode automatically reverts to Auto when you switch the camera off or if the Auto Power Off function is triggered.
