W
Off
Flash does not fire.
• Available when the scene mode is x (scene auto selector) or an optional
Speedlight (external flash unit) is attached.
• Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid the effects of camera shake when
shooting in a dark location.
X
Fill flash
The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to
“fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.
S
Manual
Flash is forcibly fired at the flash output that is set for the built-in flash.
• Choose the flash output from SFull (full flash), S1/2, S1/4, S1/8, S1/16,
S1/32 and S1/64. For example, when S1/16 is chosen, the flash is 1/16 of the
full flash.
• Not available when a Speedlight flash unit (available separately) is attached.
Y
Slow sync /Z Rear-curtain sync
• Slow sync:
Fill flash is combined with a slow shutter speed.
Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background.
• Rear-curtain sync:
Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light
behind moving subjects.
