Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Using the Flash

The flash has a range of about 0.3–5.5 m (11 in. –18 ft.) when the camera is

zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about

0.3–3.5 m (11 in. –11 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following flash

modes are available.

Setting the Flash Mode

1 Press X (flash mode).

The flash mode menu is displayed.

2 Use the rotary multi selector to choose the

desired flash mode and press k.

The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at the

top of the monitor.

When U (auto) is applied, D is only displayed for a

few seconds regardless of the monitor settings option

applied (A 103).

If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few

seconds, the selection will be cancelled.
