Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the
subject.
Red-eye reduction flash (
The light from the flash may make the subject's eyes appear red in the
picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by
emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the
subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
Fill-in flash ( )
The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by
artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Flash off ( )
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in
situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in
an art museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a
natural-looking twilight or night scene.
