FLASH Mode Icons
Blurred Shot
When taking pictures in "No Flash" setting or in the "Forced Flash" setting (Slow Synchro), the
shutter will be slower than 1/30 sec. at wide angle or 1/60 sec. at telephoto. At such slow speeds
in low light, the image may blurr from camera motion, therefore, a green light will flash to warn you.
Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting
This technique allows you to sync the Flash with the Slow Shutter Shooting. In most cases, if the
flash is used in a very dark setting the background turns out dark, but when using the Forced
Flash settings the exposure time lengthens (Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting) and brightens the
background. The use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurring.

FLASH CONTROL
The flash will automatically go off in a dark setting. In a well lighted setting,
the flash will not go off. This can be used for most settings.
Turns off the flash even in dark scenes. Use it for night scenes or wherever
you are prohibited from using a flash. Please note that these shots may
become blurred due to very slow shutter speed. 'No Flash' is the automatic
setting in CONTINUOUS or VIDEO CLIP mode.
Use this setting when recording with a flash at night or indoors. The flash will
go off once and will go off again when the picture is taken. This will help to
reduce red-eye phenomenon.
The flash will go off at any time no matter the brightness. Use it when the
background is bright or when you are shooting against the sun. When used
in dark settings, the length of exposure becomes longer, changing into
Slow Synchro Shutter Shooting. Please note that these shots may become
blurred.
