Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 37
Setting the Flash
The Flash button allows you to cycle through the flash settings
on the camera. To change the flash setting, press the Flash
button until the desired setting appears on the Image Display.
The following table describes each of the flash settings on
the camera.
NOTE The flash is disabled with the Burst setting, Fast Shot
shooting mode, and while recording video clips.
Setting Description
Auto Flash
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 if necessary (see the following
NOTE for a description of red-eye reduction).
Flash On
The camera always uses flash. If the light is behind
your subject, you can use this setting to increase the
light on the front of your subject. This is called “fill-
flash.”
Flash Off
The camera will not use flash, no matter the lighting
conditions. Use this setting to capture poorly lit
subjects that are beyond the flash range. Exposure
times may be increased when using this setting, so it is
recommended that you use a tripod to avoid camera
shake.
Night
The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction if
necessary to illuminate objects in the foreground (see
the following NOTE for a description of red-eye
reduction). The camera then continues to expose as if
the flash had not been used, to gather the
background.
