More details about flash
photography
The ready lamp beside the
viewfinder eyepiece lights
red as soon as the flash is
fully charged and ready to
fire.
While the flash is recycling –
for example when you take
several flash pictures in short
order – the red ready lamp
will blink. Releasing the
shutter is then impossible.
The built-in flash unit has a
range of approx. 0.4 to 3 m,
regardless of the focal
length set.
Flash is disabled in the
Continuous and Macro
modes.

Taking pictures
This is what it's for:
For prolonged shooting
sessions with flash (impor-
tant events, etc.) always use
fresh or fully charged
batteries.
Turn off the TFT screen and
use the optical viewfinder if
you have to use flash while
the camera is warning of
low battery power (only two
bars remaining).
Experiment with the
different flash modes. More
often than not, available-
light shots of stationary
subjects are more evocative
than flash pictures. However,
the camera should be placed
on a sturdy support (tripod
or similar).(Stativ etc).
If subject contrast is high
,for example with sunlight
incident at an angle, use the
flash to fill in shadows (Flash
On mode).
