When Lighting Is Poor
When lighting is poor and the flash is off (
) or set to slow sync (
), shut-
ter speed slows and pictures may blur. For shutter speeds slower than
1
/
30
s,
use of a tripod is recommended. At speeds below
1
/
4
s, the shutter-speed indi-
cator in the monitor or viewfinder will turn yellow indicating that mottling
(“noise”) may appear in darker areas of the image. To reduce noise, turn
Noise
Reduction
on (
117).
Note that the built-in Speedlight will turn off automatically when autofocus is
set to “infinity” (
54).
The flash also turns off when
BSS
is on (
106), a
setting other than
Single
is selected for
Continuous
(
104), a setting other
than
Normal
is selected in the
Lens
menu (

AE
Lock
option in the
Exposure Options
menu (

tion

Clear Image Mode
(

Low Batteries
When the low battery indicator appears in the control panel (
) and moni-
tor or viewfinder (

blank if in use while the flash charges. If the viewfinder is in use, it will remain
on while the flash charges.

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway while
the flash is still charging, the flash-ready indicator in
the monitor or viewfinder will flash. Remove your fin-
