Description
The flash fires automatically according to the
ambient conditions. Select this mode for general
photography.
The flash emits a pre-flash before the main flash
fires, which causes the pupil in the eye to close
and eliminates the red-eye phenomenon. Select
this mode when taking pictures of people and
animals in low-light conditions.
The flash always fires regardless of the surround-
ing brightness. Select this mode for recording
images in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent
lighting, etc.).
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when
taking pictures in a place where flash photography
is prohibited or in situations where the distance to
the subject is too far for the flash to have any
effect.
The flash fires and a slow shutter speed is set in
this mode so that the subject and background will
be exposed correctly while taking a picture with
dark background at night.
The camera provides 5 flash modes: Auto Flash (default), Red-eye Reduction,
Forced Flash, Flash Off and Slow Synchro, which can be cycled through pressing
the flash button on top of the camera. The table below tells you how to choose the
appropriate flash mode for each shot.
