Confirming Shutter Release: The Shot Confirm Menu
If desired, the flash can be fired at low intensity
after the shutter is released to let your subjects
know that a picture has been taken. The flash will
only fire to confirm shutter release if the flash did
not fire when the photograph was taken. This fea-
ture can be useful when taking portraits with the
flash turned off.
Note that when shot confirmation is on, the flash will fire to confirm shutter
release even when the flash has been turned off ( ). We recommend that
you turn shot confirmation off where use of a flash is prohibited, for example
in aquariums or museums.
To turn shot confirmation on, select On in the Shot Confirm sub-menu. The
default setting is Off.
