FORCED FLASH

When you pop-up the built-in flash, you can use your camera in this mode.
x Please use this mode for ordinary photography.

RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH

When taking a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflects the flash
light and the “redeye” phenomenon will appear in the picture. In order to avoid
this effect, the flash will blink several times, for about one second before the
picture is taken, in order to reduce the effect of this phenomenon.
䂓Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Redeye Reduction flash

may not completely eliminate the redeye in all cases.

SLOW SYNCHRO MODE

When using the flash with P/A mode, the shutter speed value is limited to faster
than 1/30. The slow synchro mode changes the shutter speed up to 15 second
