How it works
Anytime Flash
( fi ll fl ash)
Flash fi res whenever pic-
ture is taken.
Use to “fi ll-in” (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
AUTO
Auto
Flash fi res when lighting
is poor.
Best choice in most situations.
Auto with
red-eye
reduction
Flash fi res several times
at low intensity before
main fl ash, reducing
“red-eye.”
Use for portraits. Works best when sub-
ject looks directly at fl ash. Not recom-
mended when quick shutter response is
required.
When to use it
Flash Cancel
(off)
Flash will not fi re even
when lighting is poor.
Use to capture natural lighting under dim
light or where use of fl ash is prohibited.
If
(camera shake) icon appears, care
should be taken to avoid blurring.
Slow sync
Auto fl ash combined with
slow shutter speeds.
Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light. If
(camera shake) icon appears, care should
be taken to avoid blurring.
