Basic Photography and Playback: L (Auto) Mode

Using the Flash

The flash has a range of 0.3–2.6 m (1 ft.–8 ft. 6 in.) when the camera is

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

0.3–1.4 m (1 ft.–4 ft. 7 in.). The following flash modes are available:

1 Press J (flash mode).

The flash menu is displayed.

2 Press the multi selector GH to choose

the desired flash mode and press d.

The monitor will return to the normal display for the

current mode if the setting is not applied by pressing

d within five seconds.

The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at

the top of the monitor.

When z is selected, the icon is only displayed for

five seconds after the setting is applied.

The flash mode applied in L mode is stored in the

camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.
