About the Flash

up), press the Shutter-Release Button to take a ﬂ ash photograph. (Fig. 12)

2. Fill-in Flash

a. This camera also has a Fill-in ﬂ ash function that helps obtain better pictures in

daylight shooting when your subject is in a shadow or has their back to

the light source. The ﬂ ash will ﬁ re regardless of the lighting conditions.

Shutter-Release Button to take a picture with Fill-in ﬂ ash. (Fig. 13)

Cover.
