Shooting Features
Available Flash Modes
C The Flash Mode Setting
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode. See “Default Settings” (A58) and
“Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode” (A52) for more information.
Some flash settings cannot be used with other functions. See “Functions That Cannot Be Applied
Simultaneously” (A62) for more information.
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
If the camera detects “red eye” while saving an image, the affected area will be 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 extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction
processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
U Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim.
V Auto with red-eye reduction
Suited to pictures of people. This option reduces the “red-eye” phenomenon that
caused by the use of flash.
W Off
Flash will not fire even when lighting is dim.
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dim
lighting.
X Fill flash
Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and
backlit subjects.
Y Slow sync
Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed.
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.
Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture
background at night or under dim lighting.
