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 con-
troller customization (p. 54).
When the camera is turned off and
auto reset (p. 55) is active, the flash
mode is reset to autoflash or aut-
oflash 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
