Using the Flash
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.
Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
Off
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
Fill flash
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutterrelease 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.
Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
Slow 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.
Press X (flash mode).
The flash mode menu is displayed.
The Flash Mode Setting
Red-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 redeye 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.
Use 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 (A 108).
The Flash Lamp
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.
• A (auto) mode: U Auto
• C (scene): varies with the selected scene mode (A 36)
• x (scene auto selector): U Auto. The camera selects the flash mode depending upon the
selected scene mode it has automatically selected (A 45).
• 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.
Setting the Flash Mode
Note 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.

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 110) 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.

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A 31).

Using 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.

B White Balance
Preset Manual
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.
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).
Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be
used during shooting.
Use the rotary multi selector to choose
bPreset manual in the white balance menu,
and press the k button.
