repeatedly until the desired flash mode is

Your camera is equipped with five flash modes:

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

photo, regardless of lighting conditions.
Slow sync (fill flash)–Flash fires with a
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.
