    The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow shutter speed in order to
    obtain the correct exposure. We recommend using a tripod for this
    function. When you take an image in a condition with poor light, the

    where flash photography is prohibited. When you capture an image in a poorly lit
    condition, the camera shake warning indicator (            ) will display on the LCD monitor.
