Using the Flash

Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode

B Shooting When the Flash Is Disabled (W) or Lighting Is Dim

• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting. Set Vibration

reduction (A 129) to Off in setup menu (A 120) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.

• The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken

when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.

• The noise reduction function may be activated with some shooting conditions such as dim

lighting. More time than usual is required to record pictures to which noise reduction is applied.

B Note on the Flash

When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures.

To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (off).

C The Flash Lamp

The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutter-

release button is pressed halfway.

• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.

• Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again.

• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.

If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and

remain off, until the flash is fully charged.

C The Flash Mode Setting

The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.

• A (auto): U (auto)

• Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (A 54–60)

• F (smart portrait): U (auto) when Off is selected for Blink proof; fixed at W (off) when On is

selected for Blink proof (A 65)

• s (subject tracking): W (off)

There may be functions with which the flash cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that Cannot

Be Applied Simultaneously” (A 49) for more information.

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

camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

C Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). If the camera detects “red

eye” while a picture is being recorded, the affected area will be processed to reduce red-eye before

the picture is saved. Note the followings when shooting.

• More time than usual is required to record pictures.

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

• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction

processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
