      • The following example shows the procedure when the camera’s shooting mode has been set to [Program AE] ().
      • The [Flash] cannot be set to [On] in the following shooting modes:
      [Hybrid Auto] (), [Auto] (), [Creative Shot] (), [Sports] (), [Low Light] (), [Fireworks] (), [High Dynamic Range] (), [Movie ] (), [Manual (Movie)] (), iFrame Movies (), [Super Slow Motion Movie] ()
