Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-
light and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple bursts
before the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an
effect caused by light reflected from the retina.
Use in low-light conditions when taking photo-
graphs of people or animals, the pre-flashes con-

The
flash can be used when taking still
images. The flash mode is selected
in the main menu of the recording
mode (P.34). The active flash mode
is displayed in the top left corner of
the LCD monitor. When the camera
is turned off and auto reset (p. 52)
is active, the flash mode is reset to autoflash with red-eye reduc-
tion if this mode was last set, if not the mode will be reset to aut-
oflash. While the flash is charging, flash mode indicator on the
LCD monitor turns red with the shutter-release button pressed
partway down and the shutter cannot be released.
When the subject distance is closer than 20cm (0.66 ft.) at the
wide-angle setting, image may not be evenly exposed because of
the parallax between lens and flash. In these situations flash can-
cel is recommended.
