•
The setting applied in
A
(auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after

Red-eye Reduction
If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to
reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
•
More time than usual is required to save images.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
•
In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the
image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
U Auto
The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.
•
The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only
immediately after the setting is made.
V
Auto with red-eye reduction
Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.
W
Off
The flash does not fire.
•
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting
in dark surroundings.

Fill flash
The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate)
shadows and backlit subjects.
Y
Slow sync
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.
The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow
shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim
lighting.
