Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector

Raising the Flash

When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the flash will automatically pop up if the conditions required for flash photography are met.

•Auto flash (Uauto, Vauto with redeye

reduction, or Yslow sync): If the lighting is dim, the flash automatically pops up when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The camera determines whether or not the flash pops up based on the brightness of the subject and the settings used during shooting.

•Woff: The flash does not pop up, even when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The camera can shoot pictures with the flash lowered.

•Xfill flash: The flash pops up when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway during shooting.

Lowering the Flash

When not using the flash, gently push to lower the flash until it clicks shut.
