The flash mode can be changed in the basic section of the recording-mode menu (p.
80). For the flash to fire, the unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the
selected mode regardless of the amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the
camera sensitivity is automatically set at ISO 200. This setting can be changed using
the function dial (p. 40). The auto-white-balance setting will give priority to the flashes
colour temperature. If manual white-balance settings are used, priority is given to the
active settings colour temperature (p. 59).
FILL FLASH
Fill-flash can be used as the main or
supplementary light. In low-light
conditions, the flash will act as the
main source of illumination and
overpower the ambient light. Under
strong sunlight or in backlit situations,
the fill-flash can reduce harsh
shadows.
