How it works
If lighting is poor, built-in
Speedlight pops up when
shutter-release button
pressed halfway and fi res
when picture is taken. If left
raised, fl ash will not fi re if not
required.
Built-in Speedlight will not
fi re even when lighting is
poor.
Built-in Speedlight fi res sev-
eral times at low-intensity
before main fl ash; pictures
are processed to reduce red-
eye if required ( 39).
Built-in Speedlight
whenever picture is taken.
Auto fl ash combined with
slow shutter speeds.
Speedlight fi res just before
shutter closes.
When to use it
is
Recommended for most situations.
Use to capture natural lighting un-
der dim light or where use of fl ash is
prohibited. Care should be taken to
avoid blurring when lighting is poor.
Use for portraits (works best if sub-
ject looks directly at pre-fl ash). Not
recommended when quick shutter
response is required.
fi res Use to "fi ll-in" (illuminate) shadows
and back-lit subjects.
Use to capture both subject and
background at night or under dim
light. Care should be taken to avoid
blurring when lighting is poor.
Creates stream of light trailing mov-
ing objects. Care should be taken to
avoid blurring when lighting is poor.
