The camera has five flash modes: Automatic Flash, Red-Eye Reduction, Slow Sync, Forced Flash (On) and
Flash Off. The table below will help choose the appropriate flash mode:
Flash mode
Description
Auto flash
The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions. Select this
mode for general photography.
Red-eye reduction "Red-eye" (when the eyes of people in photographs are red) happens when
people are photographed in dark places using a flash, and is caused by the light of
the flash reflecting the eyes. In this flash mode, the flash is emitted automatically
according to the conditions and red-eye is reduced. Red-eye reduction is most
effective when the people being photographed are looking into the camera, and
when you photograph from as close as possible.
Slow Sync
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when taking pictures so that not only the subject but
also the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting,
fluorescent lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.
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
The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash
photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.
