Generally, once the Low Power icon comes on, 10 minutes of operation time is available. (When the batteries are completely dead, the camera will not turn on. ) Flash Memory The camera features flash memory for storing image information.

[. . . ] Auto - the camera automatically fires the flash when the brightness of the subject or scene is too low. Fill - fires the flash regardless of the brightness levels in the vicinity. However, the strength of the flash varies according to the ambient brightness of your surroundings, so the more light in the area, the lower level of the flash. Off - the flash disengaged no matter what the ambient brightness of the surroundings is. Using the Self-Timer The Self-Timer is handy for creating a delay between the time you press the shutter and the time the picture is taken. [. . . ]
