FLASH MODES
The flash can be used when taking still images. To select
the flash mode, press the flash mode button (1) on the
back of the camera until the desired mode is displayed.
Press the shutter-release button to set the mode. The
active flash mode is displayed in the top left corner of
the LCD monitor. When the camera is turned off and
auto reset (p. 45) is active, the flash mode is reset to
autoflash with red-eye reduction if this mode was last
used, if not the mode will be reset to autoflash. While
the flash is charging, the shutter cannot be released.
Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-light and
backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple bursts before
the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused
by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light condi-
tions when taking photographs of people or animals, the
pre-flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
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 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. 22).
