ª Switching the flash setting
:AUTO

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction
The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.
It reduces the red-eye phenomenon
(eyes of the subject appear red in
photo flash) by lighting the flash at
1 second before actually recording
the picture.
Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.
: Forced ON
The flash is activated every time
regardless of the recording condition.
Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the
shutter speed slow when the flash is
activated, so that the dark
background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
Use this when taking pictures of
people in front of a dark background.
: Forced OFF
Even in dark places, the flash is not
activated.
Use this when taking pictures in
places where use of the flash is not
allowed.
