3.1.5. Using the Flash
The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant the use of
flash. You can take an image using a suitable flash mode to your circumstances. If you change
the flash mode, the camera will retain that setting even if the camera is turned off.
The camera has FOUR flash modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced Flash and Flash Off.
The table below will help you to choose the appropriate flash mode:

Select this mode for general photography. The flash emits a precursor-flash
before except the main flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eyes to
contract, reducing the red-eye phenomenon. Select this mode when taking
images of people and animals in low-light conditions.

Forced Flash
The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select
this mode for recording images with high contrast (back lighting) and deep
shadows.

Suppressed Flash
The flash will not fire.
Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash photography is
prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective range
of the flash.
