FLASH MODES

The flash mode can be changed in section 2 of the recording

menu (p. 64). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be

manually raised; lower the flash to prevent it from firing. The

auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the flash’s color

temperature. If another type of white balance is used, priority is

given to the active setting’s color temperature.

Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light.

In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main

source of illumination and overpowers the ambient

light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations,

the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.

Red-eye reduction - 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 fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the

subject’s eyes.

Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to

make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather

than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent

if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the

subject’s motion.

When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This

pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The

flash fires again just before the shutter closes.

Wireless / Remote flash - allows the camera to control an off-camera flash unit without

the need of a cable. See page 72.
