Flash mode
Description
[
] Auto Flash
The flash fires automatically according to the ambient conditions.
Select this mode for general photography.
[
] Red-eye Reduction
The flash emits a pre-flash before the main flash flashes, which
causes the pupil in the human eye to close and eliminates red-eye
phenomenon. Select this mode when taking pictures of people and
animals in low-light conditions.
[ ]
Forced Flash
The flash always fires regardless of the surrounding brightness.
Select this mode for recording images in artificial light
(backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc.).
[
] Flash Off
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when taking pictures at a
place where the flash photography is prohibited or under the situa-
tion that the distance to the subject is too far away for the flash to
have any effect.
