Setting the Flash
When taking pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows, your
pictures need flash. For everyday picture-taking, use the Auto setting. However,
there are times when changing the flash option can improve your pictures. For
instance, if you are taking pictures of people indoors or at night, you can help
reduce the likelihood of red eye by using the Red-Eye setting. When your subject
is outdoors under heavy shadows, you can eliminate those shadows by using the
Fill flash. In situations where the use of flash is prohibited, as in museums, you
can turn off the flash.
