FLASH SETTING
The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light, 
but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera’s 
flash has four modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode, 
flash off mode and red-eye reduction mode). Select the flash mode that is 
appropriate for the surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only 
when taking single-shot still images.
1 Set the camera to the single-shot 
shooting mode (page 27), and 
press the [n] ([?]) button.
hThe flash setting changes.
hThe flash setting appears on the 
monitor.
hThe flash setting can also be 
changed from the Recording 
Menu (page 55).
No flash indication:
The camera will detect the 
subject brightness and use the 
flash only when required. In a 
backlight situation, if only the 
center of the image is very dark, 
the flash will operate to 
compensate (auto flash).
m: The flash will operate with every 
image captured regardless of the 
conditions. Use this setting 
under backlight conditions, when 
the subject is in shade, under 
fluorescent lighting conditions, 
etc. (forced flash).
l: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this setting 
when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is 
prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).
J: The digital camera will detect the subject brightness and use the 
flash only when required. At this time the flash will operate in a 
manner that reduces the red reflection (“red-eye”) in the subject’s 
eyes (red-eye reduction).
