The camera has five flash modes: Automatic Flash (default), Red-Eye Reduction,
Fill flash (on), Flash Off and Slow Synchro. The modes appear, cyclically, when
you press the flash button on top of the camera. The table below will help
choose the appropriate flash mode:
Flash Mode Description
[ ] Auto Flash The flash fires automatically according to the ambient
conditions. Select this mode for general photography.
[ ] Red-eye The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash
Reduction fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye to
constrict, reducing the red-eye. Select this mode when
taking pictures of people and animals in low-light
conditions.
[ ] Fill Flash (on) The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding
brightness. Select this mode for recording images with
high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
Also known as forced flash.
[ ] Flash Off The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking
images in a place where flash photography is prohibit-
ed, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.
[ ] Slow Synch The flash fires and the shutter speed is reduced so that
the subject will be exposed correctly while taking a
image with dark (night) background.
• You can also change the flash mode setting in the record menu screen.
