[Question] Let me know about controlling the flash manually (Manual Flash Amount).
Regardless of the AE of camera, you can manually configure light intensity of the internal flash from [FULL] to [1/64] in 1/2 EV increments. Which will allow to fix light intensity, not being affected by reflectance of the subject nor background.
Since this mode will not do a pre-flash, it will reduce a time lag. It will be useful for taking a picture of flying insects.
The following are the flash amount that can be set, a value is of the maximum amount.
[FULL], [1/1.4], [1/2], [1/2.8], [1/4], [1/5.6],
[1/8], [1/11], [1/16], [1/22], [1/32], [1/64]
The value that is configured with [Manual Flash Amount] is available only when the flash mode is set to [Manual Flash].
The following is the setting procedure.
| 1. |
Slide the flash open switch down to pop-up the flash in advance.
|
| 2. |
Press the  button to change the flash mode.

Flash amount setting is available in the [Flash Manual Amount] in the Shooting menu as follows.

If the [Manual Flash] is set in the flash mode, the [Flash Manual Amount] setting is enabled, but a value in [Flash exposure compensation] is disabled.

The value in the [Flash Manual Amount] may differ slightly from the actual flash amount in some case. |
[Caution]
- The flash amount is not adjusted automatically, when the [Manual Flash] is set in the flash mode.
- Do not use the flash nearby eyes (especially of infants), nor at people who are driving, etc.
