Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash The flash has a range of 0.3-4.7 m (1-15.4 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is 0.6-3.1 m (2-10.2 ft.) (in high sensitivity mode). The following flash modes are available. U V W X Y Auto (default setting for A (auto) mode) Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. Auto with red-eye reduction Reduces "red-eye" in portraits (A 29). Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. Fill flash Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects. Slow sync U (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light. Setting the Flash Mode 1 Press m (flash mode). The flash menu is displayed. 2 Use the multi selector to choose the desired flash mode and press k. The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at the top of the monitor. When U (auto) is applied, regardless of Photo Info (A 111), D will go out for a few seconds. If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled. 28 Flash mode 10
