Photography Using the Flash (continued)
[
] Auto
In this mode, the flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions. This mode is ideal for
general photography where you are not trying to achieve any particular effect.
[
] Red-Eye Auto/[
Use this mode to avoid the red-eye effect (
low-light conditions.
In the [
] Red-Eye Auto mode, the flash fires according to the photographic conditions. When firing is set
to automatic, the flash fires twice.
In the [
] Red-Eye Forced Flash mode, the flash always fires twice.
Red-eye is reduced more effectively if the subject looks directly towards the camera. Effectiveness is also
increased if the distance between the subject and camera is kept as short as possible.
[
] Forced Flash
In this mode, the flash always fires. Use the Forced Flash mode when the subject is backlighted, or in artificial
light (fluorescent lighting, etc.).
The flash also fires during macro photography.
[
] Suppressed Flash
Use the Suppressed Flash mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the
flash to have any effect, such as theater performances or indoor sporting events.
[
] Slow Synchro
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when shooting pictures so that not only the subject but also the background are
both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc.) or with people against the
night as a background scene.
