Shooting Features Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector Raising the Flash When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the flash will automatically pop up if the conditions required for flash photography are met. • Auto flash (U auto, V auto with redeye reduction, or Y slow sync): If the lighting is dim, the flash automatically pops up when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The camera determines whether or not the flash pops up based on the brightness of the subject and the settings used during shooting. • W off: The flash does not pop up, even when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The camera can shoot pictures with the flash lowered. • X fill flash: The flash pops up when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway during shooting. Lowering the Flash When not using the flash, gently push to lower the flash until it clicks shut. Available Flash Modes U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim. V Auto with red-eye reduction Best choice for portraits. Reduces red-eye effect caused by flash in portraits (A62). W Off Flash does not fire. • Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid the effects of camera shake when shooting in a dark location. X Fill flash The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto is combined with a slow shutter speed. Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background. 61
