Fill
Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use
when the subject is in shadow or is "backlit" (when the sun is behind
the subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
Red-eye
Once so the subject’s eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires
again when the picture is taken. (If the lighting conditions require flash
but do not require Red-eye reduction, the flash may fire only once.)
Press the
button to scroll through the flash options.
The active flash icon appears in the camera screen
status area.
