Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. You can change the flash setting in any Still mode; the default flash setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera.

Flash Range

  • Wide angle: 2 to 11.2 ft (0.6 to 3.4 m)

  • Telephoto: 2 to 6.6 ft (0.6 to 2.0 m)

Turning On The Flash


  1. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

  2. Press the OK button.

The flash icon that is displayed on the camera screen status bar (Status Icons (Top of Camera Screen)) is the active option.

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.)
