•
Off
: Use this to turn the flash off.
•
Auto
: Use this to automatically use the flash. The flash fires when the subject or
background is dark.
•
Red-eye
: Use this to prevent a red glow in the subject’s eyes.
•
Fill in
: The flash always fires, even in bright light. This helps brighten shadows on the
subject.
•
Slow sync
: The shutter stays open longer than the time required for the flash exposure,
so the camera can capture details of the background.
•
Red-eye fix
: Use this to correct a red glow in the subject’s eyes.
•
Keep the flash retracted when not in use to avoid damage.
•
Forcing the flash to open may cause damage to the device.
•
Flash options are not available in some modes.
•
If light from the flash is reflected, or if a substantial amount of dust is in the air, tiny
spots may appear in the photo.
