BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

■ Flash On
Select (Flash On) as the flash mode when backlighting
causes your subject to appear dark, even though there is
enough light to keep the flash from firing automatically.
This will cause the flash to fire and illuminate your subject
whenever you press the shutter button (daylight synchro
flash).
■ High-power Flash
Select (High-power Flash) as the flash mode when the
subject is relatively far away from the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Using High-power Flash can cause an increase in
digital noise in images.
• High-power Flash disabled when any setting other
than “Auto” is selected for the ISO sensitivity setting.
Make sure that the ISO setting is “Auto” (page 142)
when you want to use High-power Flash.
■ Soft Flash
Select (Soft Flash) as the flash mode to suppress flash
intensity and shoot with a soft feel.
■ About Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can
cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the
image. Red-eye reduction causes the camera’s AF assist
light/REC light/self-timer lamp to light, which causes the
irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close. This
reduces the chance of red-eye in the image.
