Use it when you take pictures of people or
animals in low lighting conditions.

The flash fires every time a picture is
captured.
Use this setting when your subject is backlit
or under fluorescent light.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the flash fire
and the shutter speed slow, so that the dark
background landscape will become bright.
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye
phenomenon.
We recommend that you use a tripod.
