Flash Modes
The flash mode can be changed in section 1 of the recording menu (p. 80). For the flash to fire, the
built-in unit must be manually lifted. The flash will fire in the selected mode regardless of the
amount of ambient light. When the flash is used, the camera sensitivity is automatically set between
ISO 100 and 200. This setting can be changed using the function dial (p. 74). The auto-white-bal-
ance setting will give priority to the flash’s color temperature. If preset or custom white-balance set-
tings are used, priority is given to the active setting’s color temperature.
Fill-flash can be used as the main or sup-
plementary light. In low-light conditions,
the flash will act as the main source of illu-
mination and overpower the ambient light.
Under strong sunlight or in backlit situa-
tions, the fill-flash can reduce harsh shad-
ows.

Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions.
The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera will fire two
pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
