Description
Auto Flash
The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions.
Red-Eye
Reduction
The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions.
Select this mode for general photography. The flash emits a precursor-flash
before 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 fires regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this mode to
record images with high contrast (back lighting) and deep shadows.
Flash Off
The flash does 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.
