Flash

You can select from 4 different flash modes depending on the light conditions and the effect you want to achieve.

The subject’s eyes appear red.

Auto-flash (No indication)

Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.

Red-eye reduction flash ()

The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the image. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.

Fill-in flash ()

The flash fires regardless of available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree leaves) or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).

Flash off ()

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.

● When using a situation-related shooting mode (~ P. 45), the flash may not be used.

● The flash cannot be used during movie recording. ~ P. 36

● When there is a likelihood that camera movement will occur in the flash off

mode, the (camera movement warning) mark blinks. Use the flash.

Red-eye reduction flash ()

● The red-eye reduction flash cannot be used during sequential shooting.

~ P. 61

● After the pre-flash, it takes approximately 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly after the pre-flash to prevent camera movement.

● Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

Fill-in flash ()

● Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.

Flash off ()

● Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

Notes on record mode

The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the image is going to be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so fewer

pictures can be saved.

Resolution

When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 x 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 x 768 (such as 1280 x 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
