A Fully Automatic Shooting (Scene Intelligent Auto) Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus on the subject. If the focus mode switch on the lens is set to (manual focus), set it to (autofocus). The flash fired even though it was daylight. For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject's dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, use the Quick Control to set [Flash firing] to [b] (p.53). The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright. Move further away from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure). In low light, the built-in flash fired a series of flashes. Pressing the shutter button halfway may trigger the built-in flash to fire a series of flashes to assist autofocusing. This is called the AFassist beam (p.77). Its effective range is approx. 4 meters/13.1 feet. The built-in flash will make a sound when firing continuously. This is normal and not a malfunction. When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out unnaturally dark. The shadow of the lens barrel was captured in the picture because the subject was too close to the camera. Move further away from the subject and shoot. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture. 70
