Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Using the Flash

The flash has a range of about 0.3-4.8 m (1-15 ft. 8.9 in.) when the camera is

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

0.3-2.4 m (1-7 ft. 10.5 in.) (when [ISO sensitivity] is set to [Auto]). The following flash

modes are available.

Setting the Flash Mode

1 Press m (flash mode).

The flash menu is displayed.

desired flash mode and press k.

The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at the

five seconds.

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

seconds, the selection will be cancelled.
