Using the Built-in Flash
Before taking a photograph with the flash in P, S, A, or M modes, press the M button to raise
the flash and wait for the M indicator to be displayed in the viewfinder (0 58). Shooting will
be interrupted if the flash is raised after the self-timer or delayed remote timer has started.
In auto or scene modes in which the flash pops up automatically, the flash will begin
charging when delayed remote or quick-response remote mode is selected; once the flash is
charged, it will automatically pop up and fire if required when the shutter-release button on
the ML-L3 is pressed. The camera will only respond to the shutter-release button on the
ML-L3 once the flash has charged.
In flash modes that support red-eye reduction, the red-eye reduction lamp will light for
about one second before the shutter is released. In delayed remote mode, the self-timer
lamp will light for two seconds, followed by the red-eye reduction lamp, which lights for one
second before the shutter is released to reduce red-eye.
