The flash mode can be changed in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p. 80). For the flash to fire, the unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the selected mode regardless of the amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the camera sensitivity is automatically set between ISO 100 and 200. This setting can be changed using the function dial (p. 44). The auto-white-balance setting will give priority to the flash’s color temperature. If preset or custom white-balance settings are used, priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature (p. 62).

FILL FLASH

Fill-flash can be used as the main or sup- plementary light. In low-light conditions, the flash will act as the main source of illumina- tion and overpower the ambient light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.
