Using the Flash
You can select the flash mode that best suits your shot. At the time
of purchase, the camera is set to [Flash Off].

or backlit.
Red-Eye Flash Reduces the red-eye phenomenon, in which people’s eyes
appear red in pictures.
Flash On The flash fires regardless of the lighting conditions.
Flash Synchro. The flash fires with the shutter speed slowed. This is useful
when taking portrait pictures in a nightscape. Camera
shake may occur, so the use of a tripod is recommended.

useful when using macro shooting to shoot close-ups.
