Chapter 2

Use the flash when you take pictures outdoors in heavy shadows, at night, or 
indoors. Flash is effective at the distances of 1.6 to 7.9 feet (0.5 to 2.4 m). 

Press the 

 button repeatedly to scroll 

through the flash options.
The flash icon displayed on the LCD is the 
active option.
Current camera status icons are also 
displayed (see 

). The LCD screen 

turns off after 3 seconds. 

NOTE: All flash options (except Red-eye) revert to Auto when the camera is 

turned off.
The camera uses slow shutter speeds in low-light conditions with the 
flash turned off. Take care to avoid camera shake; use a tripod or place 
the camera on a steady surface.

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. 

Flash Off—flash never fires.

Fill Flash—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless 
of the lighting conditions. When the picture is taken, the camera 
flashes twice, once to set the exposure and once to take the 
picture. 

Red-eye—flash fires once so the subject’s eyes become 
accustomed to the flash, then again when the picture is taken. 
The Red-eye option remains in effect until you change it. See 

 for an exception with Close-up. When the picture is 

taken, the camera flashes three times, once to set the exposure, 
once to reduce red-eye, and once to take the picture.
