Description
The flash fires automatically according to the
ambient conditions. Select this mode for general
photography.
The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main
flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye
to constrict, reducing the red-eye. Select this
mode when taking pictures of people and animals
in low-light conditions.
The flash will always fire regardless of the
surrounding brightness. Select this mode for
recording images with high contrast
(backlighting) and deep shadows. Also known as
forced flash.
The flash will not fire. Select this mode when
taking images in a place where flash photography
is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject
is beyond the effective range of the flash.
The flash fires and the shutter speed is reduced
so that the subject will be exposed correctly while
taking a image with dark (night) background.
The camera has five flash modes: Automatic Flash (default), Red-Eye Reduction, Fill flash
(on), Flash Off and Slow Synchro. The modes appear, cyclically, when you press the flash
button on top of the camera. The table below will help choose the appropriate flash mode:
