The Built-in Flash

To use the flash, raise it by pressing the N
button. Charging begins when the flash
is raised; once charging is complete, a
flash-ready indicator (N) will be displayed
when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. The following flash
modes are available; choose a flash mode
as described on the following page.
Fill flash: The flash fires with every shot. Use when the subject is
N
poorly lit or with back-lit subjects to "fill in" (illuminate) shad-
ows.
Red-eye reduction: The red-eye reduction lamp lights before the
NY
flash fires, reducing "red-eye" caused by light reflecting from
your subject's retinas.
Red-eye reduction + slow sync: Combines red-eye reduction with
slow shutter speeds to capture background details at night or
NYp
under low light. Use for portraits taken against a backdrop of
night scenery.
Fill flash + slow sync: Combines fill flash with slow shutter speeds
Np
to capture details of poorly-lit backgrounds.
Rear curtain + slow sync: Combines rear-curtain sync (see below)
Nr
with slow shutter speeds to capture poorly-lit background
details.
Rear-curtain sync: While in other modes the flash fires as the shut-
ter opens, in rear-curtain sync the flash fires just before the
Nq
shutter closes, creating streams of light that appear to follow
moving light sources.
A
Lowering the Built-in Flash
