■■  CC Natural &  Natural & NN
This mode helps ensure good results with back-
lit subjects and in other situations with difficult 
lighting.  Before shooting, raise the flash; pictures 
can only be taken when the flash is raised.  Each 
time the shutter button is pressed, the camera 
takes two shots: one shot without the flash to 
preserve natural lighting, followed immediately 
by a second shot with the f lash.  Do not move the 
camera until shooting is complete.
