Flash Shooting
There are four flash modes:
Auto : This setting automatically flashes when shooting under dark conditions.
Forced on : Select this setting to force the flash.
Red-eye prevention : Select this setting to minimize the “red-eye” effect that occurs when using the
flash. The flash is forced to light.
Off : Select this setting to disable the flash even when shooting under dark conditions.
Note that in order to prevent blurry photos a tripod should be used with this
setting, since the shutter speed is slower.
