Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy
shadows. You can change the flash setting in any Still mode; the default flash
setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera.

Turning On The Flash

1Press the button repeatedly to scroll
through the flash options.
2Press the OK button.
The flash icon that is displayed on the
camera screen status bar (page 9) is the
active option.
Auto Flash—flash fires when
the lighting conditions require it.
Off—flash never fires.
Fill—flash fires every time you
take a picture, regardless of the
lighting conditions.
Red-eye—flash fires once so
the subject’s eyes become
accustomed to the flash, then
fires again when the picture is
taken. (If the lighting conditions
require flash but do not require
Red-eye reduction, the flash may
fire only once.)
