Autoflash – the flash fires automatically in
low-light and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction – the flash fires twice before the main
flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused by light reflect-
ed from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking
photographs of people or animals. The pre-flashes contract
the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
Flash cancel – the flash will not fire. Use flash
cancel when flash photography is prohibited,
natural light is desired to illuminate the subject,
or the subject is beyond the flash range. The
camera-shake warning may appear when flash
cancel is selected (p. 31).
Fill-flash – the flash fires with each exposure
regardless of the amount of ambient light. Fill-
flash can be used to reduce harsh shadows
caused by strong direct light or sunshine.
