Description
Auto flash
The flash fires automatically based on the photographic
conditions.
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.
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.
Auto anti 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.

Slow sync
This “Front Curtain 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.
