When Lighting Is Poor
When lighting is poor and the flash is off ( ) or set to slow sync ( ), photos may be
blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended in these circumstances. When there is very little
light available, the flash-mode indicator ( or ) in the monitor will turn yellow. Pictures
taken when this indicator appears may be blurred or slightly mottled. To prevent this, try
zooming the camera out.
Note that the flash will turn off ( ) automatically when:
• Autofocus is set to “Infinity” ( ; 87)
• The mode dial is set to (landscape), (sunset), or (movie)
• BSS is on ( 104) or a setting other than Single is selected for CONTINUOUS (
102) in auto mode
