How it worksSetting When to use it
Slow synchronized
SLOW
Auto flash combined with low shutter speed.
Use to capture poorly-lit backgrounds; ideal for night-
time photography. Use of a tripod is advised.
Anytime Flash
(forced on) Flash fires whenever photo is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) a back-lit subject.
Auto
AUTO
Camera fires flash whenever lighting is poor. Best for general use.
Flash Cancel (off)
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.
Use where flash is prohibited or to capture natural
lighting under dim light. It is a good idea to use a tripod
when lighting is poor, as shutter speed will be slowed.
Auto with red-eye
reduction
AUTO
Pre-flash lamp fires before the main flash to minimize
the “red-eye” effects a flash can sometimes cause.
Use for portraits (works best if subjects are well within
range of flash and are looking directly at the pre-flash
lamp).
