Off (Flash Override) - Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom Instructions Manual

RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH
This mode significantly reduces the
phenomenon of "red-eye" by emitting
about 10 pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash. This mode works the
same way as the auto-flash except
for the pre-flashes.
It takes about 1 sec. before the Shutter is released.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the
preflashes, or if the shooting range is to far. Individual physical
characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
The mode is not available when the Mode dial is set to M and S-Prg–Sports.
Fill-in Flash (forced activation)
The flash fires regardless of
available light. This mode is useful
for eliminating shadows on the
subject's face or for correcting the
color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
It may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
OFF (flash override)
The flash does not fire even in low-
light conditions. Use this mode in
situations where flash photography
is not desired or prohibited, or when
you want to shoot a natural-looking
twilight or night scene. To use this
mode, push the flash back into the
camera.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations
when in the OFF mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent
blurred pictures caused by camera shake.
