Fill-in flash #

The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).

xNotes

When the flash fires, the shutter speed is set to 1/180 sec. or less. When shooting a subject against a bright background with the fill-in flash, the background may be overexposed. In this case, use the optional FL-50R external flash or a similar flash and shoot in the Super FP flash mode. g“Super FP flash” (P. 62)

Flash off $

The flash does not fire.

Flash intensity control

The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to -3.

In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may get better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash (“flash intensity”). It is useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images to make the images more vivid.

xNotes

This does not work when the flash control mode on the electronic flash is set to MANUAL.

If flash intensity is adjusted on the electronic flash, it will be combined with the camera’s flash intensity setting.

When [w+F] is set to [ON], the flash intensity value

will be added to the exposure compensation value. g“w+F” (P. 104)
