* “Red-eye” Phenomenon: This phenomenon may occur when using flash to
photograph persons or pets under dark conditions. In some cases, the
flash reflects against the retinas of the subject’s eyes, causing the pupils to
appear red in the photograph.
In this mode, the flash fires regardless of
surrounding light conditions. This mode
provides fill-flash when shooting in a backlight
environment or under strong sunlight when
shadows are cast on the main subject.
In this mode the flash does not fire. This mode is
effective when shooting an evening sunset or to
preserve indoor mood.
The camera automatically determines lighting
conditions and switches between flash and
available-light exposure as needed.
