Setting Description
Auto Flash (Default) The camera measures the light level and uses
the flash if necessary.
Red-Eye The camera measures the light level and uses the flash
with red-eye reduction (see page 48) if necessary.
Flash On The camera always uses flash. If the light is behind
your subject, use this setting to increase the light on the
front of your subject. This is called fill-flash.
Flash Off The camera does not use flash. Use this setting to
capture poorly lit subjects beyond the flash range or to
capture existing-light scenes. Exposure times may be
increased, so set the camera on a tripod or stable
surface to avoid blurry images from camera shake.
Night The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction (see
page 48) if necessary to illuminate objects in the
foreground, then continues to expose as if the flash had
not been used, to gather the light. Exposure times may
be increased, so set the camera on a tripod or stable
surface to avoid blurry images from camera shake.
