In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can take pictures with flash by 
raising the flash.
• The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 6.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 19 ft.) at the maximum 

wide-angle position, and about 1.5 to 3.0 m (5 ft. to 9 ft. 10 in.) at the maximum 
telephoto zoom position.

• If the flash is raised when using easy auto mode (A 20), the camera 

automatically sets a flash mode according to the determined scene mode. 
When the flash is lowered, the flash setting changes to off and W is displayed at 
the top of the monitor.

When using auto mode (

A 50), certain scene modes (A 35), or smart portrait 

A 46), the following flash modes are available.

U

Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

V

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (

A 30).

W

Off

Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.

X

Fill flash

Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and back-lit 
subjects.

Y

Slow sync

Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night 
portraits that include background scenery.
Flash illuminates main subject; Slow shutter speeds are used to capture background 
at night or under dim light.
