FLASH MODES
The flash mode can be changed in section 2 of the recording
menu (p. 64). For the flash to fire, the built-in unit must be
manually raised; lower the flash to prevent it from firing. The
auto-white-balance setting gives priority to the flash’s color
temperature. If another type of white balance is used, priority is
given to the active setting’s color temperature.

Fill-flash - used as the main or supplementary light.
In low-light conditions, the flash acts as the main
source of illumination and overpowers the ambient
light. Under strong sunlight or in backlit situations,
the fill-flash can reduce harsh shadows.
Red-eye reduction - 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 fires several pre-flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the
subject’s eyes.
Rear flash sync - used with long exposures to
make trailing lights or blurring appear to follow rather
than proceed the subject. The effect is not apparent
if the shutter speed is too fast and stops the
subject’s motion.
When the shutter is released, a pre-flash fires. This
pre-flash is not for exposure, but for metering. The
flash fires again just before the shutter closes.
Wireless / Remote flash - allows the camera to control an off-camera flash unit without
the need of a cable. See page 72.
