USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

BASIC OPERATION

Autoflash

In auto-flash, the built-in flash pops-up automatically when the shutter release button is pressed partway down in low light situations.

Once the flash is up, it will fire when necessary.

Press the flash mode button until the flash mode indicator appears on the data panel.

• When the camera is turned off, the flash mode is reset to autoflash or autoflash with red-eye reduction whichever was set last. See p. 36.

Autoflash with Red-Eye Reduction

Light reflecting from your subject’s eyes may produce the effect known as red-eye. Use the built-in flash’s red-eye-reduction mode to produce more natural looking photographs by reducing the red-eye effect.

Press the flash mode button until the flash mode indicator appears on the data panel.

• Warn your subject that the flash will fire a few times just before the picture is taken.

• When the camera is turned off, the flash mode is reset to autoflash or autoflash with red-eye reduction whichever was set last. See p. 36.
