To select the flash mode:
Mode How it works When to use it
Auto
Flash fires when lighting is
poor.
Best choice in most situations.
Auto with red-
eye reduction
Pre flash is used before the
main flash fires to reduce
“red-eye.” If “red-eye” is
detected after an image is
taken, the camera will cor-
rect “red-eye” when storing
the picture.
Use for portraits (works best when sub-
ject is well within range of flash and
looking at pre-flash). Not recommended
when quick shutter response is
required.
Flash Cancel
(off)
Flash will not fire even when
lighting is poor.
Use to capture natural lighting under
dim light or where use of flash is pro-
hibited. If (camera shake) icon
appears, care should be taken to avoid
blurring.
Anytime Flash
(fill flash)
Flash fires whenever picture
is taken.
Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
Slow sync
Auto flash combined with
slow shutter speeds.
Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light.
Care should be taken to avoid blurring.
