  Two flashes will be emitted. Do not move until after the second flash. Interval between flashes varies 
according to brightness of subject.

When the built-in flash is closed, [ ] (Forced flash off) is set regardless of the flash 
setting.
 
In [Intelligent Auto] mode, [   ] is set and light is emitted according to the subject and 
the brightness if you open the built-in flash.
 
You can adjust the intensity of the flash using [Flash Adjust.] in the [Rec] menu. 
 
You can use [Flash Synchro] in the [Rec] menu to set whether the first curtain sync or 
the second curtain sync will be used. 
 
The effect of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by 
factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera 
during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of red-eye reduction 
may be negligible.
 
Flash settings may be changed when changing recording mode.
 
Scene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed.
 
If light from the flash on a subject is insufficient, neither the proper exposure nor White 
Balance is achieved.
