Using a flash (not supplied)
In a dark location, using the flash allows you to shoot the subject brightly, 
and it also helps to prevent camera shake. When shooting into the sun, you 
can use the flash to shoot a bright image of the backlit subject.
For details on how to use the flash, refer to the operating instructions 
supplied with the flash.
Note
• The lens may block the light of the flash and a shadow may appear on the bottom of 
the image. Remove the lens hood.
