Using the Flash

The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 8.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 26 ft.) when the camera is
zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about
0.5 to 3.5 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 11 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following
flash modes are available.

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.
V

Reduces "red-eye" in portraits (A31).
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 backlit
subjects.
Y Slow sync

Suitable for taking portrait images with the night landscape as the background. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at
