Tips

When lighting is poor and the flash is set to “Off” () or “Slow Synchro” (SLOW ), shutter speed is slowed and photos may be blurred. If possible, use a tripod when lighting is poor.

The built-in flash will automatically be set to “Off” when:

• you use autofocus with a setting of “Infinity” ( )

you choose a multi-shot setting of “Continuous,” “16-shots” or “VGA sequence”

you use best-shot selection (BSS)

you use lens converter (LENS) settings

the AE LOCK option in the M-REC menu is on

When using the flash, be sure the flash window is unobstructed.

Flash status is indicated by the AF/Flash indicator next to the viewfinder. When the indicator blinks red, the flash is charging. Wait until the indicator turns green before taking a picture.
