USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH

BASIC OPERATION

Flash Cancel

Use flash cancel to photograph landscapes at twilight, to capture the ambiance of the existing

light, or when flash photography is not permitted.

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

• The flash will not fire even if the built-in flash is up.

• The shutter speed may be slow. Use a tripod to reduce camera shake.

• To return to autoflash mode, repeat the step above until autoflash indicator appears.

Setting the Default Autoflash Mode

When the camera is turned off, the flash mode is reset to autoflash or autoflash with red-eye reduction whichever of the two modes was set last. The camera’s initial setting is autoflash. To have autoflash with red-eye reduction as the default flash mode when the camera is turned on, simply set the mode and turn the camera off.
