Shooting Features

C The Flash Lamp

• The status of the flash can be confirmed by

pressing the shutter-release button halfway.

- On: The flash fires when you press the shutter-

release button all the way down.

- Flashing: The flash is charging. The camera

cannot shoot images.

- Off: The flash does not fire when a picture is taken.

• If the battery level is low, the monitor turns off

while the flash is charging.

Available Flash Modes

C The Flash Mode Setting

• The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A48).

• The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after

the camera is turned off.

C Red-eye Reduction

If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to

reduce red-eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

• More time than usual is required to save images.

• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

• In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the

image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.

Auto

The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.

• The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only

immediately after the setting is made.

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.

Fill flash

The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate)

shadows and backlit subjects.

Y Slow sync

Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.

The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow

shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim

lighting.
