Flash mode
The flash offers an additional light source (usually used in a low-light environment). You
can capture an image using one of the following flash modes.
To select a flash mode:
1. Go to the Capture mode.
2. Keep pressing
to toggle among different flash modes and select a desired option.
Face Tracking
Focuses on the position of faces (max. 10 faces) simultaneously. While using the Face
Tracking function, point the camera to where the people (your subjects) are located. Focus
frames of Face Tracking will automatically detect faces (maximum 10) and show on the
LCD screen.

Description
Auto Flash
The flash fires automatically based on the photographic
conditions.
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.
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.
• Due to environmental factors such as lighting, the number of detected faces might be
different from that of the actual faces.
• To achieve the best result, ask your subjects not to turn their faces partially away from
the lens.
