Shooting When Lighting Is Poor and the Flash Is Disabled (W) 

• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of 

camera shake. Turn vibration reduction (

A 105) off when using a tripod.

• The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken 

when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.

• When E is displayed and higher sensitivity is applied, noise reduction may be automatically 

applied as pictures taken are recorded; results in increased recording times.

When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may 
appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash mode to W (Off) or zoom 
in on the subject.

The flash indicator and flash lamp indicate flash status 
when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.

• Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try 

again.

• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.

If the battery is low after pictures are taken using the 
flash, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, 
and the flash lamp will blink until the flash is fully 
charged.

C

The default setting is U (auto), except in some scene modes and one-touch portrait mode.

If the flash mode is adjusted in any scene mode or one-touch portrait mode, the setting reverts to 
the default setting whenever another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). The flash fires repeatedly at 
low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if red-
eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is 
saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and 
the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. 
The time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction 
may not produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to 
red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another 
mode and try again.
