2 Taking pictures and videos

Using the flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. Flash is effective between 2.6 - 7.9 ft (0.8 - 2.4 m). You can only change the flash setting in Still modes.

Choosing a flash option

Press the

button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options.

The active flash icon is displayed in the camera screen status area (see Checking camera and picture status ).


	Auto—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it.


	Fill—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use when the subject is in shadow or is "backlit" (when the sun is behind the subject).


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


	Off—flash never fires.

NOTE:

Off and Fill flash options revert to Auto when the camera is turned off.
When the picture is taken with Auto or Fill flash selected, the camera flashes twice: once to set the exposure and once to take the picture. When the picture is taken with Red-eye flash selected, the camera flashes three times: once to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye, and once to take the picture.
