[]
([Auto/Red-Eye])¢2
The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make it 
necessary.
It is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the red-eye 
phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then 
activated again for the actual recording.
•Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting conditions.
[ ‰ ]
([Forced Flash On]) The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions.
•Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.
[]
([Slow Sync./
Red-Eye])
¢ 2
If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature will 
slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark 
background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the 
red-eye phenomenon.
•Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark 
background.
[ Π]
([Forced Flash Off]
)
The flash is not activated in any recording conditions.
•Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the flash 
is not permitted.

–When the Optical Image Stabilizer is set to [OFF].–When the camera has determined that there is very little jitter when the Optical Image Stabilizer is 
set to [ON].
•In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.•The shutter speed for Manual Exposure Mode,  Sports Mode, Snow Mode, Beach & Snorkeling 
Mode, Advanced Underwater Mode and Scene  Modes will be different from above table.
•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the heat or 
lighting from the flash.
•Recording a subject from too close, or without sufficient flash will not provide the appropriate level of 
exposure, and may result in a picture that is too white or dark.
•When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even when 
you press the shutter button fully.
•If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.
•The effects of the flash may not be adequately achieved under the following conditions.–When [Burst] in the [Rec] menu is set to [ ]–When the shutter speed is too fast
•It may take time to charge the Flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the access 
indication disappears.
•The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject is far away from the 
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be as evident.

Taking Close-up Pictures ([AF Macro]/[Macro Zoom])
Applicable modes: 
This mode allows you to take close-up pictures of a subject, e.g. when taking pictures of 
flowers.
1Press 4  [#].
2Press 3/ 4 to select the item and then press [MENU/SET].
•We recommend using a tripod and the Self-timer.•We recommend setting the flash to [Œ ] when you take pictures at close range.
•If the distance between the camera and the subject is beyond the focus range of the camera, the 
picture may not be properly focused even if the focus indication lights up.
•When a subject is close to the camera, the effective focus range is significantly narrowed. Therefore, 
if the distance between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may 
become difficult to focus on it again.
•Macro Mode gives priority to a subject close to the camera. Therefore, if the distance between the 
camera and the subject is far, it takes longer to focus on it.
•When you take pictures at close range, the resolu tion of the periphery of the picture may decrease 
slightly. This is not a malfunction.
•It is not possible to set [AF #] in the following cases.–In all Scene Modes except [3D Photo Mode]•[ ] cannot be set in the following cases.
–[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect] (Creative Control Mode)–Scene Mode–When [ ] in [AF Mode] is set
–When [Burst] in the [Rec] menu is set to [ ], [ ] or [ ]
