Description
AUTO FLASH
The flash fires automatically according to suit the photographic conditions.
RED EYE
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.
NO FLASH
Use this mode in the environment that the flash use is prohibited or under the
situation that the distance to the subject is too far away for the flash to have
any effect.
