Auto Mode Using the Flash The flash mode allows you to specify the settings according to shooting conditions. • The flash has a range of approx. 0.5-7.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-22 ft.) at the maximum wide- angle zoom position and a range of approx. 0.5-3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-9 ft. 10 in.) at the maximum telephoto zoom position. • Note that when using easy auto mode (A 18), only U Auto (default setting) and W Off are available. When U Auto is applied, the camera automatically selects the optimum flash mode setting for the scene mode it has selected. • The following flash modes are available when shooting in auto mode (A 27) and certain scene modes (A 33). U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. V Auto with red-eye reduction Reduces "red-eye" in portraits (A 29). W Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. X Fill flash Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed. Suitable for taking portraits with the night landscape as the background. 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) on the multi selector. The flash menu is displayed. 2 Press the multi selector H or I to select a 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 90).
