Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash The flash has a range of approx. 0.5-8.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.-27 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is approx. 0.8-4.3 m (2 ft. 8 in.-14 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). The following flash modes are available. U V W X Y Auto 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 rotary 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. D will disappear after a few seconds regardless of the Photo info option (A 120). If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled.
