Flash

You can use the flash for still image recording. The flash mode can be changed as required.

AUTO RED-EYE: The flash fires automatically but reduces the red-eye phenomenon of the subject's eyes.

ON: The flash fires regardless of the shooting condition.

SLOW SYNCHRO: The flash fires regardless of the shooting condition. The shutter speed becomes slower in this mode, so the background can be also brightened.

[ ] = Factory-preset

When not using the flash

Push the flash down slightly.

NOTES:

The flash, continuous shooting or bracket shooting etc. cannot be used at the same time. An unusable mode indicator blinks or goes out.
