NOTE
• When shooting a close-up of the subject, you can compose the picture by using the viewfinder
or the LCD monitor. However, composing the picture by using the viewfinder in macro mode
may cause images composed to be off-center due to the parallax phenomenon. We recom-
mend that you use the LCD monitor instead to compose the picture in this situation.
• After one shot is taken, the macro mode is turned to off.
Using the flash
The flash is designed to function automatically in dark places. You can take a

Flash Mode
[ 
 ] Auto Flash
[  ] Red-eye Reduction
[  ] Forced Flash
[  ] Flash Off
[  ] Slow Synchro
Description
The flash fires automatically according to the
ambient conditions. Select this mode for general
photography.
The flash emits a pre-flash before the main flash
flashes, which causes the pupil in the human eye
to close and eliminates red-eye phenomenon.
Select this mode when taking pictures of people
and animals in low-light conditions.
The flash always fires regardless of the surround-
ing brightness. Select this mode for recording
images in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent
lighting, etc.).
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when
taking pictures at a place where the flash
photography is prohibited or under the situation
that the distance to the subject is too far away for
the flash to have any effect.
The flash fires and the shutter speed becomes
slow in this mode so that the subject and back-
ground will be exposed correctly while taking a
picture with dark background at night.
The camera provides 5 flash modes: Auto Flash (default), Red-eye Reduction,
Forced Flash, Flash Off and Slow Synchro, which can be changed cyclically by
pressing the flash button on top of the camera. The table below tells you how to
choose the appropriate flash mode while shooting.
