Description
Auto
The flash fires automatically to suit the photographic conditions.
Red-eye
Use this mode to reduce the red-eye effect when you want to take natural-
Reduction
looking photographs of people and animals in low-light conditions. When taking
photographs of people, the red-eye effect can be reduced by increasing the
room lighting if possible and having your subject not look directly into the
camera. The camera’s pre-flash and slight delay in this mode will also help to
improve your images.
Forced Flash
The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this
mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
Flash Off
Use this mode if flash use is prohibited or if the distance to the subject is too far
away for the flash to have any effect.
