Fill flash
Bright light indoors or outdoors from backlit
subjects can create dark shadows (especially
on faces) in high-contrast scenes. Use fill flash
to lighten these shadows.
1. Press the SELECT BUTTON (23) repeatedly
until “FILL FLASH” appears on the TEXT-
MESSAGING PANEL (30).
2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE
(14).
3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON (1),
and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY
LAMP
(13) glows green, fully depress the
shutter button to take the picture.
Flash off
When you do not want to use the flash,
especially indoors where flash is prohibited,
such as in theaters and museums, or when
you want to take twilight scenes or distant
subjects that are beyond the flash range, or
capture the ambiance of existing light, use the
flash-off feature.
1. Press the SELECT BUTTON (23) repeatedly
until “FLASH OFF” appears on the TEXT-
MESSAGING PANEL (30).
2. Frame your subject within the VIEWFINDER
EYEPIECE
(14).
3. Partially depress the SHUTTER BUTTON (1),
and when the FLASH/CAMERA-READY
LAMP
(13) glows green, fully depress the
shutter button to take the picture.
• Use a tripod and high-speed film because
the shutter speed at night will most likely
be slow.
