Flash photography is useful for taking pictures at night or
indoor dark locations. Choose from 6 flash modes
according to the type of shot. See p.67 for information on
the available Shooting modes.

MEMO
By calculating subject distance and brightness, the camera
automatically adjusts the flash amount and sensitivity to
suit shooting conditions. This maintains consistent balance
of bright/dark areas across the image in low-light
conditions (dimly-lit room, etc). The Intelligent Flash feature
guarantees consistent results when using the flash.

CAUTION
