Flash Photography

Using the Built-in Flash

The built-in flash can be used not only when natural lighting is inadequate but to fill in shadows and backlit subjects or to add a catch light to the subject’s eyes.

1Choose a metering method (0 114).

Select matrix, center-weighted, or highlight-weighted metering to activate i-TTL balanced fill-flash for digital SLR. Standard i-TTL flash for digital SLR is activated automatically when spot metering is selected.

2 Press the flash pop-up button. The built-in flash will pop up and begin charging. When the flash is fully charged, the flash-ready indicator (c) will light.
