FLASH MODES
The built-in flash is designed to be used with lenses with focal lengths from 28mm of longer. When using lenses shorter than 28mm, the corners of the image will not be fully illuminated. Remove the lens hood to prevent lens shadowing, see page 75. The shutter will not release while the flash is charging. Push down the built-in flash when the camera is not in use.
Autoflash - the built-in-flash pops up automatically when flash illumination is required. Only available with full-auto program, program, and subject programs (p. 32).
Fill flash - the flash fires with each exposure regardless of the ambient light. Fill flash can be used to reduce harsh shadows caused by strong direct light or sunshine.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Used when flash photography is prohibited, natural light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range.
