2. Press the button to turn on the power.
3. Toggle W / until your desired flash mode appears on the LCD
monitor.
4. Compose your image and press the shutter button.
The table below will help you to choose the appropriate flash mode:
Flash mode Description
AUTO FLASH The flash fires automatically to suit the photographic conditions.
RED EYE Use this mode to reduce the red-eye effect when you want to take
REDUCTION natural-looking photographs of people and animals in low-light conditions.
When taking photographs of people, the red-eye effect can be reduced by
increasing the room lighting if possible and having your subject not look directly
into the camera. The camera’s pre-flash and slight delay in this mode will also
help to improve your images.
FORCED FLASH The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this
mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
NO FLASH Use this mode if the use of flash is prohibited or if the distance to the subject
is greater than the flash’s maximum range. The camera will adjust its exposure
and shutter speed to give the best results. A tripod will improve your images.
