K Using the Flash

Use the flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light. To choose a flash mode, press the selector right (K). The flash mode changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from the following options (some options are not available in all shooting modes; see the restrictions in another supplied document):
Mode Description AUTO (no icon) The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations. The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration K (fill flash) when shooting in bright light. W (suppressed The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. 0 will appear in the monitor at flash) slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended. Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that T (slow sync) brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).

If the flash will fire, X will be displayed in the monitor when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
C Caution The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
K Using the Flash Red-Eye Removal When B ON/S ON is selected for Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 18), redeye removal (S) is available in AUTO (V), fill flash (U), and slow sync (Z) modes.

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink immediately before the picture is taken. If the two-second timer is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink as the timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 18) is recommended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face Detection, set the timer as described in Step 1 and then press the shutter button all the way down to start the timer.
