Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash B Lowering the Built-in Flash When not using the built-in flash, gently push to lower the flash until it clicks shut. B Shooting When Lighting is Poor and the Flash is Disabled (W) • Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of camera shake. Turn vibration reduction (A 122) off when using a tripod. • The E symbol is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused by slow shutter speed. Pictures shot when E is displayed may be slightly mottled. B Note on Using the Flash When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (Off), lower the built-in flash, or zoom in on the subject. C The Flash Indicator The flash indicator shows flash status when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. • On: Flash will fire when picture is taken. • Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again. • Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken. C The Flash Mode Setting When the built-in flash is raised in the A (auto), P, S, A, and M modes, the default setting is U (auto). When any flash mode other than V (auto with red-eye reduction) is applied in A (auto) mode, the setting is only enabled until the camera is turned off. Turning the camera off returns flash mode to U (auto). When the flash mode is changed in the P, S, A, and M exposure modes, the setting is remembered even after the camera is turned off. When flash mode is applied in a scene mode, the setting is only enabled until another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off. C Red-eye Reduction This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if redeye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. The time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again. 32
