2 Taking Pictures

Using the Flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. You can only change the flash setting in Auto mode. Use the flash at distances of 1.6-7.9 ft (0.5-2.4 m).

Setting the Flash Mode


Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

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

Auto Flash—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it. When the picture is taken, the camera flashes twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the picture.

Off—flash never fires.

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

Red-eye—flash fires so the subject's eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken.

NOTE:

  • Off and Fill flash options revert to Auto when the camera is turned off.

  • When the picture is taken in Auto and Fill modes, the camera flashes twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the picture. When the picture is taken in Red-eye mode, the camera flashes three times, once to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye, and once to take the picture.
