Selecting a fl ash
mode
Normally, the fl ash automatically pops
up and strobes when the surroundings are
dark. You can intentionally change the
fl ash mode.
Auto (No indicator)
The camera decides to use the fl ash based
on lighting conditions. The default setting
is Auto.
Forced fl ash (
)
The fl ash fi res regardless of the amount of
ambient light.
Slow synchro (
SL
)
The fl ash fi res regardless of the amount of
ambient light.
In this mode, the shutter speed becomes
slower under dark conditions, so you can
clearly shoot a background that is out of
the fl ash-lit area.
No fl ash (
)
The fl ash does not fi re regardless of the
amount of ambient light.
