The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in i mode, the
built-in flash will pop up automatically when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. If the flash is raised, photographs can only
be taken when the flash-ready indicator (M) is displayed. If the flash-
ready indicator is not displayed, the flash is charging; remove your
finger briefly from the shutter-release button and try again.
To save power when the flash is not in use, press it gently downward
until the latch clicks into place.
