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.
Flash Off—The camera does not use flash. Use this setting to capture poorly
lit subjects beyond the flash range or to capture scenes with the existing light.
The Flash setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or you turn off the camera.
Note The flash is not available in Burst, Fast Shot, Landscape, or Sunset
shooting modes, nor while recording video clips. In Night Portrait shooting mode,

Red-Eye.
Flash Setting—Red-Eye
The red-eye phenomenon is caused when light from the flash reflects off the subjects'
eyes, which can make human eyes appear red in the captured image. Using
Red-
Eye causes the camera to flash quickly up to three times to shrink the subject's pupils
(reducing the effect of the red-eye phenomenon) before using the main flash and
capturing the image. Since it takes longer to take a picture using this setting, make sure
your subjects wait for the additional flashes.
Using the shooting modes
Shooting modes are predefined settings for everyday situations. They are optimized for
particular types of scenes or shooting situations.
