The flash is fired every time regardless of the recording
conditions.
• Use these modes when your subject is back-lit or under
fluorescent light.

When taking pictures of dark subjects, these modes will use
slower shutter speeds when the flash is fired, so dark
backgrounds will appear brighter.
• Use these modes when you take pictures of people in
front of a dark background.
• Using a slower speed can cause motion blur. Using a
tripod can counteract this.
Œ
([Forced Flash Off])
The flash is not fired in any recording conditions.
• Use this when you take pictures in places where the use
of flash is not permitted.
