Flash and Picture Taking Options

Repeatedly press the MODE button to select the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings or to select a picture-taking mode that lets you tailor the camera's fully automatic settings.

Flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator

When the flash/camera-ready-lamp indicator "blinks" the camera is not ready to take the picture. In the fill-flash mode, the mode-selector arrow in the LCD panel "blinks." Wait for the lamp to turn off or the mode-selector arrow to stop blinking before you take the picture.

Auto flash 

In dim light, such as indoors or outdoors in heavy shade, or on dark overcast days, you need flash. Your camera features an automatic flash that fires when you need it. The flip-up flash helps to minimize red eyes in flash pictures and prevents hand obstruction in front of the flash.

Fill flash 

When in bright sun or when bright light comes from behind the sub-ject, dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and to add sparkle to your subject's eyes.

Flash off 

When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited, or to capture the ambiance of existing light, use the flash-off feature. Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed in these situations is generally slow.

Nightview with or without flash 

Nightview with flash: The camera balances the flash and existing light exposure so you can take beautiful pictures at sunset or night.

Nightview without flash: You can capture the natural existing light of city scenes or fireworks at night.

Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed at night is generally slow.

Selecting the flash and picture-taking options

1. Open the lens cover/flash to raise the flash and to turn on the camera.
   
   
2. Repeatedly press the MODE button until the mode-selector arrow points to the auto-flash symbol, fill-flash symbol, flash-off symbol, nightview symbol with flash or night-view symbol without flash.
   
   
3. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece keeping your subject within the distance range for the speed of film in your camera (see Flash-to-subject distance table).
   
   
4. Press the shutter button to take the picture. When you take nightview pictures, press and hold the shutter button for 4 seconds before you release the button.

   Note: If you release the shutter button before 4 seconds, the nightview setting cancels.
