Available Flash Modes

C

The Flash Mode Setting

The setting may not be available with some shooting modes.
For shooting modes j, k, l and m, the setting is saved in the camera’s memory

even after the camera is turned off.

C

Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction

Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the
red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area
is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:
Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release

button is pressed and when the image is shot.

More time than usual is required to save images.
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
In some rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas

of the image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.

U Auto

The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.

The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only

immediately after the setting is made.

Not available in shooting modes j, k, l, and m, and in some scene modes.

V

Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.

Red-eye reduction is used in shooting modes j, k, l, and m to fire the

flash whenever an image is taken.

dark surroundings.
