repeatedly until the desired flash mode is

to let the subject’s eyes adjust to the flash,
then again to take the actual image.

photo, regardless of lighting conditions.

slow shutter speed. Ideal for situations
where additional lighting is needed for
subjects in the foreground.
Flash off–The flash never fires, regardless of
lighting conditions.
