BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

2.
Record the image.
• If the camera senses
that the flash is
necessary, the flash
unit will pop up
automatically if you
press the shutter
release half way or all
the way down.
• Note that the flash unit
does not close
automatically. After you
are finished using it,
you need to close it by
hand.
IMPORTANT!
• The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times
when you record an image. The initial flashes are
pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain
information that it uses for exposure settings. The
final flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep
the camera still until the shutter releases.
• Using the flash while “Auto” is selected for the ISO
Sensitivity setting increases sensitivity, which can
cause large amounts of digital noise to appear in the
image. You can reduce digital noise by using a lower
ISO Sensitivity setting. Note, however, that this also
has the effect of shortening the flash range (the
range that is covered by the light from the flash)
(page 119).
