Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 43
Setting the Flash
NOTE The flash does not work in Panorama mode, with the
Burst setting, or while recording video clips.
The Flash button lets you cycle through the flash settings on
the camera. To change the flash setting, press the Flash
button until the desired setting appears in the Image Display.
The following table describes each of the flash settings on the
camera.
NOTE If you change the flash setting, the camera will remain
in that setting until you change it or turn off the camera.
Except in My Mode (page 52), when you turn the camera
on again, flash resets to the default Auto Flash setting.
Setting Description
Auto Flash
The camera measures light and uses the flash if
necessary.
Red-Eye
The camera measures light 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 flashes. 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 flash, no matter the lighting
conditions.
Night
The camera fires the flash if necessary (using red-eye
reduction) to illuminate objects in the foreground. It
then continues to expose as if the flash had not fired to
gather the background (see the following NOTE for a
description of red-eye reduction).
