When you press the shutter release button half way, the

■ Monitor screen
When you have Auto Flash or Red-Eye Reduction selected
as the flash mode, the indicator
appears on the display
when you press the shutter release button about half way
down to indicate that available light is insufficient and the
flash will be fired.
IMPORTANT!
• The flash always fires automatically in accordance
with subject brightness when Full Auto is selected as
the exposure mode (page 82).
• When Best Shot is selected as the exposure mode
(page 76), the flash mode setting is determined by the
flash setting of the currently selected Best Shot scene.
You can change the flash mode setting in this case,
but the Best Shot scene flash mode setting is restored
when you change to another Best Shot scene or turn
camera power off and then back on again.
• Each press of cycles through the available flash
mode indicators on the monitor screen.
To do this:
Have the flash fire automatically in
accordance with subject brightness
(Auto Flash).
Always fire the flash, regardless of
subject brightness (Flash On).
Turn off the flash so it never fires,
regardless of subject brightness
(Flash Off).
Fire a pre-flash followed by image
recording with flash, reducing the
chance of red-eye in the image (Red-
eye Reduction). With this setting,
flash fires automatically in accor-
dance with subject brightness.
