Optima Batteries P90 manual Using the Flash

Using the Flash

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can shoot pictures with flash by raising the built-in flash.

The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 8.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 26 ft.) for wide, and about 1.7 to

5.0m (5 ft. 7 in. to 16 ft.) for tele (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). Change the flash setting according to each situation.

UAuto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

VAuto with red-eye reduction Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A34).

WOff

Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.

XFill flash

Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.

YSlow sync

Fill flash is combined with slow shutter speed.

Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light.

ZRear-curtain sync

Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light behind moving subjects.
