Page 68 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING To do this: Have the flash fire automatically when required (Auto Flash) Turn off the flash (Flash Off) Always fire the flash (Flash On) Always use high-intensity flash, regardless of exposure (High-power Flash) • You can increase sensitivity, which will brighten subjects that are further away, as required.
Page 69 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING I Flash On Select (Flash On) as the flash mode when backlighting causes your subject to appear dark, even though there is enough light to keep the flash from firing automatically. This will cause the flash to fire and illuminate your subject whenever you press the shutter button (daylight synchro flash).
Page 70: Flash Unit Status
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING IMPORTANT! • Note the following important points when using red- eye reduction. — Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera during the pre-flash.

Page 76: Specifying Image Size
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING Specifying Image Size “Image size” is the size of the image, expressed as the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up the image. More pixels provide finer detail when an image is printed, but a higher pixel count also causes the image’s file size to be larger.
Page 77: Specifying Image Quality
BASIC IMAGE RECORDING • The above print sizes are all approximate values when printing at a resolution of 200 dpi (dots per inch). Use a larger setting when you want to print at a higher resolution or when you plan to produce a larger size print. •...
