SETTING THE FLASH MODE
The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,
but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera’s
flash has three modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode
and flash off mode). Select the flash mode that is appropriate for the
surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only when capturing still
images.

Caution when using the flash underwater
iLight from the flash may reflect on debris in the water, resulting in an image
that is not as clear as you expected.
k: The camera will detect the subject brightness and use the flash
only when required. In a backlight situation, if only the center of the
image is very dark, the flash will operate to compensate (auto
flash).
m: The flash will operate with every image captured regardless of the
conditions. Use this setting under backlight conditions, when the
subject is in shade, under fluorescent lighting conditions, etc.
(forced flash).
l: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this setting
when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is
prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).
