FLASH MODES
The flash mode can be changed in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 80). For the flash
to fire, the built-in unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the selected mode
regardless of the amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the camera sensitivity
is automatically set between ISO 100 and 200. This setting can be changed using the
function dial (p. 74). The auto-white-balance setting will give priority to the flash’s color
temperature. If preset or custom white-balance settings are used, priority is given to the
active setting’s color temperature.
Fill-flash can be used as the main or
supplementary light. In low-light
conditions, the flash will act as the
main source of illumination and
overpower the ambient light. Under
strong sunlight or in backlit situations,
the fill-flash can reduce harsh
shadows.

RECORDING MENU
Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light
conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The
camera will fire two pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the
subject’s eyes.
