NOTE
The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the
flash reflecting off the blood vessels in the retinas of the
subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or
animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When
you set the flash to either
Red-Eye
or
Night
, the
camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the
captured images of humans or animals.
It will take longer to take a picture with either the
Red-Eye
or
Night
flash setting. The shutter is
delayed because of the additional flash. In turn, make
sure your subjects wait for the second flash.

Setting
Description
Auto
The camera measures the available light
and fires the flash if necessary.
Red-Eye
The camera measures the available light
and fires the flash with red-eye reduction
if necessary.
Flash On
The camera always fires the flash. If the
light is behind your subject, you can use
this setting to increase the light on the
front of your subject. (This is called
“fill-flash.”)
Flash Off
The camera will not fire the flash.
Night
The camera fires the flash with red-eye
reduction to illuminate objects in the
foreground. It then continues to expose as
if the flash had not fired to gather the
background. This setting only works when
taking pictures of still objects. You may
also want to use a tripod for better results.
