FLASH MODES
Flash mode
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 conditions when taking
photographs of people or animals, the pre-
flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
The flash can be used when
taking still images. The flash
mode is set with the main menu of
the recording mode (p. 36). The
active flash mode is displayed in
the top left corner of the monitor.
Flash modes can be assigned to
the controller with controller
customization (p. 54).
When the camera is turned off
and auto reset (p. 55) is active,
the flash mode is reset to autoflash or autoflash with red-eye
reduction, whichever of these two modes was last used. While
the flash is charging, flash mode indicator turns red and the
shutter cannot be released.
When photographing a subject closer than 20 cm (0.7 ft.), use
flash cancel, see page 39.
