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

Flash Range

mWide Angle: 2 to 11.2 ft (0.6 to 3.4 m) at ISO 140
mTelephoto: 2 to 6.6 ft (0.6 to 2.0 m) at ISO 140

Turning On the Flash

Press the button repeatedly to scroll
through the flash options.
The flash icon that is displayed in the
camera screen status area (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.)
