2 Taking Pictures

Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. The flash setting can be changed in any Still mode. The default flash setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera, except in PAS mode (see Flash Settings In Each Mode).

Wide Angle

1.6-19.4 ft (0.5-5.9 m)

Telephoto

2.5-8.9 ft (0.75-2.7 m)



Turning On the Flash


Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

The active flash icon is displayed in the camera screen status area (Camera Screen Icons).

Auto Flash—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it.

Off—flash never fires.

Fill—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Red-eye—flash fires once so the subject's eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken. (If the lighting conditions require flash but do not require Red-eye reduction, the flash may fire only once.)

For the best possible pictures, flash settings are pre-set for each picture taking mode.
