Red-eye
Reduces the red-eye phenomenon when capturing natural-looking
images of people and animals in low-light conditions. Be sure to ask the
subject to look at the camera lens or get as close to the camera as possible.
The flash fires automatically based on the photographic conditions.
Force On
The flash always fires regardless of the surrounding lighting conditions.
Select this mode when capturing images with high contrast
(backlighting) and deep shadows.
Slow Sync
Fires the flash immediately at the beginning of exposure with a longer
shutter speed, so balanced ambient lighting of the foreground subject
and background scene can be reached in a low-light environment.
Force Off
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when flash photography is
prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective
range of the flash.
