SETTING THE FLASH MODE

The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,

but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera’s

flash has three modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode

and flash off mode). Select the flash mode that is appropriate for the

surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only when capturing still

images.

HINT

Caution when using the flash underwater

iLight from the flash may reflect on debris in the water, resulting in an image

that is not as clear as you expected.

k:T he camera will detect the subject brightness and use the flash

only when required. In a backlight situation, if only the center of the

image is very dark, the flash will operate to compensate (auto

flash).

m:T he flash will operate with every image captured regardless of the

conditions. Use this setting under backlight conditions, when the

subject is in shade, under fluorescent lighting conditions, etc.

(forced flash).

l:T he flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this setting

when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is

prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).
