screen, the finder or the lens to direct
sunlight for long periods may cause
malfunctions.
Close the lens portion when not using the

The flash mode has the following features.
No indicator (Auto): Based on the
lighting conditions, the camera will decide
if there is enough light, and will use the
flash accordingly.
(Forced flash): The flash will be used
regardless of the amount of ambient light.
(No flash): The flash will not be used.
You can carry out this operation even when the
MODE dial is set to P, SCN (Soft snap
mode), or (Clip motion).
The recommended distance using the flash is
about 0.5 m to 1.7 m (1 foot 7 3/4 inches to
5 feet 7 inches) when [ISO] is set to [AUTO].
(When the MODE dial is not set to P, [ISO]
is set to [AUTO].)
If the menu is currently displayed, press MENU

While the flash is being charged, the /CHG
lamp flashes. After charging is completed, the
lamp goes out.
To reduce “red-eye” when
shooting live subjects
The flash pre-strobes before shooting to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. Set [RED
EYE REDUCTION] to [ON] in the SET UP
settings (page 101). appears on the
LCD screen.
The amount of red-eye reduction possible
varies according to the individual. In addition,
the distance to the subject, and whether or not
the subject has seen pre-strobe light begin to
strobe may also reduce the effectiveness of the
red-eye reduction process.

people at night, shooting landscapes, or
shooting portraits, use the modes listed
below to increase the quality of your
images.
Twilight mode
Under dark lighting conditions, you can
shoot using the Twilight mode, and still get
good images. However, because the shutter
speed is slower under these conditions, we
recommend you use a tripod.

Because the shutter speed is slow, it is
recommended that you use a tripod.
Allows you to shoot images of people in the
foreground with distinct outlines without losing
the feeling that you are shooting at night.
The flash forcely strobes.
Landscape mode
Focuses on images far away, so is
convenient for shooting landscapes at a
distance.
You cannot shoot in Macro mode.
The flash auto mode cannot be selected.
Soft snap mode
The soft snap mode lets you shoot skin
colors in brighter and warmer tones for
more beautiful pictures. In addition, the soft

AF lock shooting using
Center AF
Even if it is difficult to focus in AF shooting
because the subject is not in the center of the
frame, you can focus in this situation using
Center AF. For example, when you are
shooting two human subjects, and there is a
gap between them, the camera may focus on
the background visible in the gap. In a case
like this, use AF lock to ensure the subjects
are in correct focus.
When you are using AF lock, you can capture
an image with the correct focus even if the
subject is at the edge of the frame.
aCompose the shot so that the
subject is centered in the AF
range finder, and press the
shutter button halfway down.
When the AE/AF lock indicator stops
flashing and remains on, and there is a
beeping sound, focus adjustment is
completed.
bReturn to the fully composed
shot, and press the shutter
button fully down.
The shutter clicks, the image will be
recorded with the proper focus for the
human subjects.
You can carry out the AF lock adjustment
process before you press the shutter button fully
down.

sources like a light bulb, white objects will
appear reddish. The human eye has an
excellent ability to adjust. Even when
lighting conditions change, the eye can
adjust and recognize the correct color almost
instantly. However, digital still cameras are
greatly influenced by light. Normally, this
camera adjusts automatically, but if you
notice that the color of the entire image
seems to be a bit unnatural when replaying
