images, but of a lesser quality.

When capturing images or movie clips under indoor lighting, the image quality will be best if you set

frequency, turn on the camera. Press the Mode button until “ 50 ” or “ 60 ” appears on the LCD
display. Press the Shutter button to choose the setting you desire.

Press the Mode button until SA/SF appears on the LCD display. Press the Shutter button to set
the flash to automatic flash (Strobe Automatic) or forced flash (Strobe Forced). In automatic mode,
the camera will determine if the flash is needed, or not. In forced mode (also known as “fill” flash)
the flash will always fire, regardless of lighting conditions.
