Basic Photography and Playback
Using the Flash
The following five flash modes are available:
Red-Eye Reduction
Pre-flashes are fired several times at low-intensity before the main flash to reduce “red-eye”. If the
camera detects “red-eye” after a picture is taken, advanced red-eye reduction will further reduce
“red-eye” when storing the picture. Using this function, there is slight delay before you can press
the shutter-release button again for the next shot.
Select another flash mode in the following cases:
When quick shutter response is required.
When red-eye reduction does not produce the desired results.
In rare cases when other picture areas may be affected as well as the “red-eye” area.
Flash Range
•When SENSITIVITY is set to Auto:
Zoom out : Approx. 0.4 - 4.0 m (1 ft. 4 in. - 13 ft. 1 in.)
Zoom in : Approx. 0.4 - 2.0 m (1 ft. 4 in. - 6 ft. 7 in.)
The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 0.4 m (1 ft. 4 in.).
When taking close-ups, check the results after each shot.
Mode Description When to use

camera will correct “red-eye”
when storing the picture.

when the subject is within
range of the flash and look-
ing at the pre-flashes).
Not recommended when
quick shutter response is
required.

Flash will not fire even when
light levels are low.
Use to capture natural lighting
under dim light or where use of
the flash is prohibited.
C
Anytime
Flash
(fill flash)
Flash fires whenever a picture is
taken.
Use to lighten dark shadows
and for back-lit subjects.
D
Slow sync
Flash fires automatically and a
picture is taken with a slow
shutter speed.
Use to capture both the subject
and background at night or
under dim light.
