Using the Flash
The flash has a range of about ##m (#in. –#ft.) when the camera is zoomed out
all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about ##m (#in. –
#ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following flash modes are
available.
Setting the Flash Mode
1Press X (flash mode).
The flash mode menu is displayed.
2Use the rotary multi selector to choose the
desired flash mode and press the k button.
The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at the
top of the monitor.
D will disappear after a few seconds, regardless of the
Photo info option (A108).
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button
within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled.
UAuto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
VAuto with red-eye reduction
Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A31).
WOff
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
XFill flash
Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
YSlow sync
U (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed.
Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture
background at night or under dim light.

Using the Flash
Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode
BShooting 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 (A110) 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.
BNote on Using the Flash
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.
CThe Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates 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, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, until the flash is fully charged.
CThe Flash Mode Setting
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.
A (auto) mode: U Auto
C (scene): varies with the selected scene mode (A36)
x (scene auto selector): U Auto. The camera selects the flash mode depending upon the
selected scene mode it has automatically selected (A45).
s (active child): W Off
a (smile): U Auto
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
CRed-Eye Reduction
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.

The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button within a few seconds, the selection
will be cancelled.

Exposure Compensation
Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the
camera to make pictures brighter or darker.
1Press o (exposure compensation).
The exposure compensation guide is displayed.
2Use the rotary multi selector to adjust
exposure and press the k button.
When the subject is too dark: adjust the exposure
compensation to “+” side.
When the subject is too bright: adjust the exposure
compensation to “–” side.
Exposure compensation can be set to values between
–2.0 and +2.0 EV.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button within a few seconds, the
selection will be cancelled.
3The setting is applied.
The value is displayed with the H icon in the monitor.
CExposure Compensation Value
The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even
after another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A
(auto) mode is selected.
DUsing Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to
increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be required
to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit expanses of
water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject. Negative
compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for
example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main
subject.

CThe Number of Exposures Remaining
The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory
and on a 256 MB memory card. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ
depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number
may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the
same.
1If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposure
remaining display shows 9999.
2Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi. Print sizes are calculated by dividing the
number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at
the same image size, pictures printed at higher resolutions will print smaller than the size
indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions will print larger than the size indicated.

B White Balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is
known as “white balance.” For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting
that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto,
can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting
suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings
other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
BFlash Mode
At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (W) (A30).
aAuto (default setting)
White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in
most situations.
bPreset manual
Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual
lighting conditions, see “Preset Manual” (A87) for details.
cDaylight
White balance adjusted for direct sunlight.
dIncandescent
Use under incandescent lighting.
eFluorescent
Use under most types of fluorescent lighting.
fCloudy
Use when shooting under overcast skies.
gFlash
Use with the flash.

Preset Manual
Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with
a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red
shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
1Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
2Use the rotary multi selector to choose
bPreset manual in the white balance menu,
and press the k button.
The camera zooms in.
3Choose Measure.
To apply the most recently measured value for preset
manual, choose Cancel and press the k button.
4Frame the reference object.
5Press the k button to measure the white balance value.
The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set.
No pictures are recorded.
CNote on Preset Manual
Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when the k button is pressed in step 5.
Therefore, the camera cannot measure a value for preset manual for when the flash is used.
