The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct 
exposure in 
i mode, the built-in flash will 
pop up automatically when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway (

the flash is raised, photographs can only be 
taken when the flash-ready indicator (

displayed. If the flash-ready indicator is not 
displayed, the flash is charging; remove your

button and try again.
When the flash is not in use, return it to its 
closed position by pressing it gently 
downward till the latch clicks into place.
