The Built-in Flash
If additional lighting is required for correct exposure in
i mode,
the built-in flash will pop up automatically when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway (
0 62). If the flash is raised,
photographs can only be taken when the flash-ready indicator (

is displayed. If the flash-ready indicator is not displayed, the flash
is charging; remove your finger briefly from the shutter-release
button and try again.
When the flash is not in use, return it to its closed position by
pressing it gently downward till the latch clicks into place.
