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 an automatic flash that fires when you need it and provides automatic daylight fill flash under certain bright-light conditions where shadows may exist. The flip-up flash also helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and to prevent hand obstruction in front of the flash.

When you partially depress the shutter button and the flash-ready lamp glows green, the flash is fully charged and ready for picture-taking (see the following tables for Flash-lamp signals and Flash-to- subject distance).

1.Lift the LENS COVER/FLASH (3) up to

uncover the LENS (7) and to activate the flash.

2.Take the picture when the FLASH-READY LAMP (13 ) glows green.

The LCD panel will display “FLASH NOT READY” message when the flash is not fully charged.

3.Keep the subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera. Don’t take pictures beyond the maximum distance or your pictures will be dark.
