Built-in flash shooting If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14mm (equivalent to 28mm on a 35mm film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a vignette effect. Whether or not vignetting occurs also depends on lens type and shooting conditions (such as distance to the subject). 1 Press the # button to raise the built-in flash. • The built-in flash will pop up automatically and fire in low light conditions under the following modes. AUTO/i/&///G/r/g # button Flash shooting 2 Press the shutter button halfway. • The # (flash stand-by) mark lights when the Flash stand-by mark 5 flash is ready to fire. If the mark is blinking, the flash is charging. Wait until charging is complete. 3 Press the shutter button all the way. Viewfinder TIPS When you do not want the flash to pop up automatically: j Set [AUTO POP UP] to [OFF]. g"AUTO POP UP" (P. 102) To shoot without having to wait for the flash to finish charging: j See "RLS PRIORITY S/RLS PRIORITY C" (gP. 99). x Notes • When [#RC MODE] is set to [ON], the built-in flash will fire only to communicate with the external flash so it will not function as a flash. g"Shooting with the Olympus wireless RC flash system" (P. 80) Flash intensity control The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to -3. In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may get better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash ("flash intensity"). It is useful when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images to make the images more vivid. 77 EN
