USING THE FLASH [v]

The flash is used not only in dark conditions, but also when the subject is in

forced flash, flash off, and red-eye reduction) allow you to select the mode
appropriate for the surrounding conditions. The flash can be used only in the
still image shooting mode. Note that the effective flash range is 0.5 to 2.1 m
for normal photography, and 0.2 to 0.5 m for macro photography.
