Using the Buttons (A-REC, M-REC): Flash Settings
How it works
Camera fires flash whenever lighting is poor.
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
Flash fires whenever photo is taken.
Auto flash combined with low shutter speed.
When to use it
Best for general use.
Use where flash is prohibited or to capture natural
lighting under dim light. It is a good idea to use a tripod
when lighting is poor, as shutter speed will be slowed.
Use for portraits (works best if subjects are well within
range of flash and are looking directly at the pre-flash
lamp).
Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) a back-lit subject.
Use to capture poorly-lit backgrounds; ideal for night-
time photography. Use of a tripod is advised.
Important!
Before using the flash, be sure to read the
warnings in For Your Safety.
