Using flash The PDC-2000 camera provides three flash modes for
optimum picture quality under a great variety of lighting
conditions:
Automatic
()
Camera automatically
determines whether or not to
use flash
On ( )
Flash fires with every picture
Off (blank) Flash never fires
Automatic ( ) is the recommended setting, and should
produce correctly lighted pictures under most conditions. The
flash is effective up to 15 feet (4.6m) from the subject.
Use the flash On ( ) setting when conditions might cause
the automatic flash system to mistakenly determine that flash
is not needed. Outdoors, for example, overall scene lighting
may be adequate but the main subject may be in shadow. In
this case, the automatic flash would not fire and the subject
would be too dark. In this case, using the flash On setting
would expose the subject correctly.
