TAKING FLASH PICTURES
In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade or on dark overcast days, you
need flash. Your camera features automatic flash that fires when you need it. It also
provides automatic daylight fill flash under certain bright-light conditions where
shadows may exist. If the focus/flash lamp (16) “blinks” red, the flash is not fully
charged. Wait for the light to turn green before you take a picture.
