AUTO-S (Red-Eye Reducing Flash)
Significantly reduces the phe-
nomenon of "red-eye" (when a
subject's eyes appear red).
OFF (Flash Override)
When you don't want the flash to
fire, even in the dark.
In the Auto-S Flash mode, the camera will emit a
series of low-power pre-flashes before the regular
flash. This makes the subjects' pupils contract,
significantly reducing red-eye. Except for the pre-
flashes, this mode is the same as the Auto Flash
mode.
In the Flash-OFF mode, the flash does not fire even
in low-light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is
prohibited.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to hold the camera still until
the shutter releases.
Note: Since a slow shutter speed (down to 2
seconds) is automatically selected in low-light
situations, the use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent blurred pictures caused by shaking the
camera.
