Minolta DiMAGE E223, Instruction Manual, Page: 14 / 36

To set the flash mode, simply press the
flash-mode/copy button on the back of
the camera until the appropriate mode
is indicated.
Autoflash - the flash fires automatically
in low-light situations. If the flash will
fire, the flash indicator will appear on
the LCD monitor when the shutter-
release button is pressed partway
down.
Fill-flash - the flash fires with each
exposure regardless of the amount of
ambient light. Fill-flash can be used to
reduce harsh shadows caused by
strong direct light or sunshine.
Red-eye reduction - multiple flashes
are used before the main flash burst to
reduce red-eye; an effect caused by
light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking
photographs of people or animals. The pre-flashes contract the pupils of
the subject’s eyes.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash
photography is prohibited, natural light is desired to illuminate the subject,
or the subject is beyond the flash range.
