Flash modes
Flash mode is selected with the function button and the controller
(p. 64). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be manually lifted.
The flash fires in the selected mode regardless of the amount of
ambient light. The auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the
flash’s color temperature. If preset or custom white-balance settings
are used, priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature.
Fill-flash can be used as the main or
supplementary light. In low-light conditions,
the flash will act as the main source of
illumination and overpower the ambient
light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit
situations, the fill-flash can reduce harsh
shadows.
Fill flash
Fill-flash with red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light
conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera will
fire two pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
Fill-flash with red-eye reduction
The active flash mode is shown by an indicator on the monitors
when the flash is lifted.
