Autoflash with
red-eye reduction
Autoflash – the flash fires automatically in low-light
and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction – the flash fires several times
before the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; the
effect is caused by light reflected from the retina.
Used in low-light conditions when taking pho-
tographs of people or animals. The pre-flashes con-
tract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
Flash cancel – the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is prohibited, natural
light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range.The camera-shake
warning may appear when flash cancel is selected (p. 20).
Fill-flash – the flash fires with each exposure
regardless of the amount of ambient light. Fill-flash
can be used to reduce harsh shadows caused by
strong direct light or sunshine.
FLASH MODES
To set the flash mode, simply press the mode but-
ton on the back of the camera until the desired
mode is displayed (p. 18).
FLASH RANGE
The camera will automatically control the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’
wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.

0.8m ~ 3.0m (2.6 ft. ~ 9.8 ft.)
