visible in
the final photograph (select longer focal lengths
on the lens focal length scale to zoom in, shorter focal
lengths
to zoom out) .
To save
battery power when the flash is not in use, return it to its
closed
position by pressing it gently downward till the latch clicks
into place.

• The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in ~ mode, the
built-in flash will pop up automatically when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway. If the flash is raised, photographs can only
be taken when the flash-ready indicator (~) is displayed. If the flash-
ready
indicator is not displayed, the flash is charging; remove your
finger briefly from the shutter-release button and try again.
II Auto Meter-Off
The viewfinder and information display will turn off if no operations are performed for about
8 seconds (auto meter-off), reducing the drain on the battery. Press the shutter-release
button halfway to reactivate the display. The auto meter-off delay can be selected using
