Shoot the image.
• Shutter speeds of one second or longer are indicated by [”], for example, 1”.
• When you set the shutter speed slower, using a tripod is recommended to prevent the effects of vibration.
• If the proper exposure is not obtained after making the settings, the setting value indicators on the screen 
flash when the shutter button is pressed halfway down. You can shoot in this condition, but we 
recommend that you adjust the flashing values again.
• The flash is set to   (Forced flash), 
 (Forced flash with red-eye reduction) or 
 (No flash).
• When the shutter speed is high, the amount of flash light may be insufficient even if you fire the flash.
