Basic Photography and Playback: A (Auto) Mode Using the Flash When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, the flash has a range of 0.5-5.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.18 ft.) at the maximum wide-angle zoom position and a range of 0.9-3.7 m (2 ft. 11 in.-12 ft.) at the maximum telephoto zoom position. The following flash modes are available. U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim. V Auto with red-eye reduction Reduce "red-eye" in portraits (A 32). W Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is dim. X Fill flash Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Y Slow sync U (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting. Raising and Lowering the Built-in Flash • Auto flash (U auto, V auto with redeye reduction, and Y slow sync): When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway under dim lighting, the built-in flash pops up automatically. The camera determines whether or not the built-in flash pops up according to subject brightness and shooting settings. • W off: The built-in flash does not pop up when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Pictures can be taken without using the flash. • X fill flash: The built-in flash pops up whenever the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in shooting mode. Gently press the built-in flash down to lower it. Lower the built-in flash when the camera is not used for shooting. 30
