Flash mode indicator
If the subject or background is dark, the camera
flash will operate automatically.
If a subject or background is dark, the camera flash
will work automatically and will reduce the red-eye
effect by using the red-eye reduction function.
The flash fires regardless of available light.
The intensity of the flash will be controlled,
according to the prevailing conditions. The brighter
the background or subject is, the less intense the
flash will be.
The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow
shutter speed in order to obtain the correct
exposure. When you take an image in a condition
with poor light, the camera shake warning indicator
( ) will display on the LCD monitor.
We recommend using a tripod for this function.
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when
capturing images in a place or situation where flash
photography is prohibited. When you capture an
image in a poorly lit condition, the camera shake
warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD
monitor.
We recommend using a tripod for this function.

If you press the shutter button after selecting the Auto, Fill-in, Slow sychro
flash, the first flash fires to check the shooting condition (Flash range and
Power ratio of flash).
Do not move until the second flash fires.
Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery.
Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is
normally less than 5.5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will
be longer.
Take photographs within the flash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly
reflective.
When taking an image in a poorly lit condition with the flash, there may be a
white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the reflecting of
the flash light from the atmospheric dust. It is not camera malfunction.
The flash doesn't fire in the continuous shot, AEB, some scene modes
(p.25) and movie clip mode.
