Shooting Features
Available Flash Modes
C The Flash Mode Setting
• The setting may not be available with some shooting modes.
• The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is
turned off.
C Red-eye Reduction
If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce
red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In some rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the image. In
these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.
U
Auto
The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.
• The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately after the
setting is made.
V
Auto with red-eye reduction
Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.
W
Off
The flash does not fire.
• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark
surroundings.
X
Fill flash
The flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
Y
Slow sync
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires
when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture
background at night or under dim lighting.
