FLASH MODES

The flash mode can be changed in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 80). For the flash to fire, the

built-in 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 between ISO 100

and 200. This setting can be changed using the function dial (p. 74). The auto-white-balance setting

will give priority to the flash’s color temperature. If preset or custom white-balance settings are used,

priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature.

Fill-flash can be used as the main or sup-

plementary light. In low-light conditions, the

flash will act as the main source of illumina-

tion and overpower the ambient light. Under

strong sunlight or in backlit situations, the

fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.

Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The

red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera will fire two pre-

flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
