Setting the Flash

When you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows, your pictures need flash. The flash has an effective range of 1.6 to 10.5 ft (0.5 to 3.2 m).

When taking Burst pictures, the built-in flash is automatically turned off.

	Slide the flash pop-up button to open the flash unit. Press the button repeatedly to scroll through the flash options. The following icons appear in the Status Display: AUTO (no icon)--flash fires automatically when needed.
	Fill--flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions.
	Red-Eye--flash fires once so the subject's eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken. Ideal for pictures of people.
	Off--flash does not fire. Close the flash unit to turn flash off.
When you open the flash unit again, the camera remembers and restores your last flash setting. When you are shooting in low-light conditions with the flash turned off, the camera uses slow shutter speeds. Take care to avoid camera shake. Use a tripod or place the camera on a steady surface.
