Setting the Flash

The Flash
settings on the camera. To change the flash setting, press the
Flash button until the desired setting appears on the Image
Display. The following table describes each of the flash
settings on the camera:
Setting Description
Auto The camera measures the light level and uses the flash
Flash if necessary.
Red-Eye The camera measures the light level and uses the flash
with red-eye reduction if necessary (see Red Eye on
page 41 for a description of red-eye reduction).
Flash On The camera always uses flash. If the light is behind your
subject, you can use this setting to increase the light on
the front of your subject. This is called fill-flash.
Flash Off The camera will not use flash, no matter the lighting
conditions. Use this setting to capture poorly lit subjects
that are beyond the flash range. Exposure times may
be increased when using this setting, so you should use
a tripod to avoid blurry pictures from camera shake.
Night The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction if
necessary to illuminate objects in the foreground (see
Red Eye on page 41 for a description of red-eye
reduction). The camera then continues to expose as
if the flash had not been used, to gather the light in
the background. Exposure time may be increased
when using this setting; therefore, you should use a
tripod or set the camera on a stable surface to avoid
camera shake.
