AEL/Image protection button ( )
An exposure value can be saved prior
to shooting when the AEL button is
pressed. When a subject is too small
to obtain the appropriate exposure or
for backlight shots, this button can be
used.
The AEL button can be used for AFL,
AEL/AFL, and AF (see page 61 for setting procedure).
In the playback mode, this button can be used as an image protec-
tion button ( ) (p. 92).
When a background is brighter than a
subject, or when intentionally turning
on the fl ash, e.g. backlight shooting or
shooting in poor lighting conditions, the
user must pop up the fl ash by pressing
the fl ash pop-up button.
See page 41 to set the desired fl ash
mode for a shooting situation when
using the fl ash.
Precautions when using built-in fl ash
Ɣ Do not attempt to open the built-in fl ash forcibly, as it may damage
the camera.
Ɣ Ensure that the fl ash is always closed when it is not used.
If the fl ash is pushed backwards, it may damage the fl ash.
