AFlash Modes

The flash modes listed on the previous page may combine one or more of the following settings, as shown by the flash mode icon:

•AUTO (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is backlit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway and fires as required.

•j(red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. Red-eye reduction lamp lights before flash fires, reducing “red-eye.”

•j(off): Flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit.

•SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use to include background lighting in portraits.

•REAR (rear-curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating a stream of light behind moving light sources (below at right). If this icon is not displayed, flash will fire as the shutter opens (front-curtain sync; the effect this produces with moving light sources is shown below at left).

For information on the lenses that can be used with the built-in flash, see page 202. Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m (2 ft) and can not be used in the macro range of zoom lenses with a macro function.

The shutter release may be briefly disabled to protect the flash after it has been used for several consecutive shots. The flash can be used again after a short pause.
