Description
Auto
The flash fires automatically based on the photographic
conditions.
Auto Anti Red-eye
Reduces the red-eye phenomenon to capture 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 for proper exposure of the subject, and
uses a slow shutter speed to capture ambient light for
proper exposure of the background. Useful for capturing
night scenes with still subjects (such as portraits). Use of
tripod is recommended.
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.
