BASIC OPERATION
Autoflash
Fill-flash
Flash cancel
Autoflash with
red-eye reduction
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.
To set the flash mode, simply press the flash
mode button (1) on the back of the camera until
the appropriate mode is indicated.
Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-
light and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction - multiple flashes are used
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 pho-
tographs of people or animals. The pre-flashes
contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
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.
