Description
Auto
The flash fires automatically according to suit the photographic conditions.
Red-eye Reduction
Use this mode to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when you want to take
natural-looking photographs of people and animals in low-light conditions.
When taking photographs, the red-eye phenomenon can be reduced by
asking the subject (person) to look at the digital camera or get as close to the
digital camera as possible.
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
Use this mode in the environment that flash use is prohibited or under a
situation where the distance to the subject is too far away for the flash to have
any effect.
