Using the flash
NOTE The flash does not work while recording video clips.
To change the flash setting, press the Flash button on the top
of the camera until the desired setting appears on the Status
LCD. If Live View is on, the icon also appears in the Image
Display.
NOTE The camera remains in the current flash setting until you
change it or turn off the camera.
Icon Setting Description
Auto The camera measures the available light
and fires the flash if necessary. This is the
default setting.
Red-eye
Reduction
The camera measures light and fires the
flash with red-eye reduction if necessary.
Flash On The camera always fires the 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 will not fire the flash. Use this
setting when you do not want a flash (such
as with distant objects). This may result in
long exposures that will require using a
tripod.
Night The camera fires the flash to illuminate
objects in the foreground. It then continues to
expose as if the flash had not fired to gather
the background. This setting only works
when taking pictures of still objects. Hold the
camera steady to prevent blurry images. For
best results, use a tripod.
