●! If the shutter speed is set to a speed faster than 1/1000 sec.,<br />
the image may appear dark even if the flash is used.<br />
●! When the flash pops up, the image may disappear and go<br />
dark briefly due to flash charging. The viewfinder lamp blinks<br />
orange during charging.<br />
The flash setting changes each time you press the<br />
“d (c)” Flash button. The last flash mode shown is<br />
the mode selected.<br />
●! If the flash is used in dusty conditions or when it is snowing,<br />
white dots may appear in the image due to flash reflecting off<br />
the dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash<br />
mode.<br />
●! When taking a picture using the flash, the image may<br />
disappear and go dark as the flash charges. The viewfinder<br />
lamp then blinks orange.<br />
●! The available flash modes are limited depending on the<br />
Photography menu selected (➡P.31).<br />
Press the shutter button down halfway. “∑ ”<br />
appears on the LCD monitor when the flash is used.<br />
x Auto flash<br />
Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires as<br />
required by the shooting conditions.<br />
●! If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will<br />
be taken without the flash.<br />
b Red-eye reduction<br />
Use this mode to make sure that the subject’s eyes appear<br />
normal when taking pictures of people in low-light<br />
conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture<br />
is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture. The<br />
flash fires as required by the shooting conditions.<br />
●! If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will<br />
be taken without the flash.<br />
◆ Red-eye effect ◆<br />
When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes<br />
appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.<br />
Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect.<br />
Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:<br />
h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.<br />
d Forced flash<br />
Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against<br />
a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct<br />
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this<br />
mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.<br />
c Slow synchro<br />
This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed. This<br />
allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly<br />
show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. To<br />
avoid camera shake, always use a tripod.<br />
h Slowest shutter speed<br />
“/” Night scene: up to 2 sec.<br />
n Red-eye reduction + Slow synchro<br />
Use this mode for Slow synchro shots with Red-eye reduction.<br />
●! The image may be overexposed when shooting bright scenes.<br />
To take a picture of a main subject at night with the<br />
background brightly lit, use the “/” (Night scene) setting in<br />
Photography mode (➡P.32).<br />
