Flash ( ) / Left button
If you press the shutter button after selecting the Auto, Fill-in, Slow
synchro flash, the first flash fires to check the shooting condition
(Flash range and Power ratio of flash).
Do not move the camera until the second flash fires.
Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery.
Under normal operating conditions the re-charging time for
the flash is usually within 4 seconds. If the battery is weak, the
charging time will be longer.
In the ASR mode, [Landscape], [Close up], [Text], [Sunset],
[Dawn], [Firework] scene modes and the Movie clip mode, the
flash function will not operate.
(Exceptionally, the flash function will operate when you use the
wise shot in the ASR mode)
Take photographs within the flash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or
highly reflective.
When taking an image in poorly lit conditions with the flash, there
may be a white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused
by the flash light reflecting off atmospheric dust.
