Using the Flash This chapter explains how to take a picture in a dark place using the flash.
Using the Built-in Flash If you wish to discharge the flash in a dark or backlit location, press the flash button ( ) to pop up the flash. Select a [Flash] mode to suit your purpose from the Flash options screen in the Fn menu. You can adjust the flash output with the rear dial ) in any Exposure mode other than Auto mode. The built-in flash is optimum ( from about 0.7 m to 4 m from the subject. Exposure will not be properly controlled and vignetting may occur when used at a distance closer than 0.7 m.
Using the Built-in Flash Available flash mode, by recording mode Auto P Sv (O: Selectable, X: Not selectable) Tv Av TAv M B X User Auto O X X X X X X X X X Fill-In X O O O O O O O O O Auto +Red-eye O X X X X X X X X X Fill-In + Red-eye X O O O O O O O O O 1st Curtain Sync.

Using the Built-in Flash Using Fill-in Flash Using Red-eye Reduction Flash Using the [Fill-In] flash mode, the flash fires regardless the environmental light conditions. You can effectively use this flash mode when photographing against the light. “Red-eye” is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken in dark environments with a flash. This is caused by the reflection of the electronic flash from the retina of the eye. Red-eye occurs because pupils are dilated in dark environments.
Using the Built-in Flash Front curtain sync, Rear curtain sync Daylight-Sync Shooting The next example shows the difference between front curtain sync and rear curtain sync. Rear curtain sync is used to freeze motion at the end of the exposure in a sharp image. Because of the different directions of the lights, you may find some unexpected shadow even in the daylight condition. You can reduce the shadow on the subject by using the built-in flash.
Using the Built-in Flash Compensating Flash Output Flash Characteristics in Each Exposure Mode You can change the flash output in a range of -2.0 to +1.0. The Flash Compensation values are as follows for 1/2 EV and 1/3 EV. ■ Using the Flash in Tv (Shutter Priority) Mode Step interval - When taking a moving subject, you can use the flash to change the blur effect. - Within the shutter speed limit of “1/180” sec or slower, you can use the built-in flash for shooting.
Using the Built-in Flash Using Slow-Speed-Sync ■ Using Tv (Shutter Priority) Mode When you take a picture in low light condition to the background, you may find the difference in the exposure between the subject and the background. You can have the bright background as same as the subject using the slow shutter speed when firing the flash. ● Slow-speed-sync slows the shutter speed. Use a tripod or OIS to avoid camera shake. The picture will also blur if the subject moves.
Using the Built-in Flash Distance and Aperture when Using the Built-in Flash Calculating Shooting Distance from Aperture Value ■ A set criteria is necessary between the guide number, aperture and distance when shooting with the flash. Calculate and adjust the shooting conditions if flash is not sufficient. ■ The following equation calculates the distance of the flash for aperture values.
Using an External Flash (Sold Separately) Using the optional external flash (SEF-54PZF, SEF-36PZF) enables a variety of flash modes, such as P-TTL auto flash mode, high-speed flash sync mode, and wireless mode.

The following information is about using the external flash (SEF-54PZF or SEF-36PZF).
Using an External Flash (Sold Separately) Using P-TTL Auto Mode Using High-Speed Flash Sync Mode Use this flash mode with the SEF-36PZF or SEF-54PZF flash unit. When flash mode is set to [P-TTL auto], the flash pre-fires right before taking pictures using 16-segment metering and allows more precise control. P-TTL auto mode is available with SEF-54PZF and SEF-36PZF models while using a wireless connection.
Using an External Flash (Sold Separately) Using in Wireless Mode Wireless flash mode is available for the SEF-54PZF or SEF-36PZF models. You do not have to connect the camera with a flash sync cord. ● Be sure to set the two SEF-36PZF / SEF-54PZF units to the same channel. ● See the SEF-36PZF or SEF-54PZF operating manual for details. ■ In Wireless Mode 1. Place the SEF-36PZF / SEF-54PZF in the desired location. Set the flash mode to SLAVE1 and then select CH.
Using an External Flash (Sold Separately) Using the external flash sync terminal You can contact an external flash to the camera by using the External flash-sync terminal. ● The use of high-voltage or high-current external flashes may cause a camera breakdown. ● When using the external flash-sync terminal, the shooting information of the camera is not shared with the connected device. ● It is recommended to take a test shot to prevent from darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light.
