When to use it
Best choice in most situations.
Use for portraits. Works best when sub-
ject looks directly at fl ash. Not recom-
mended when quick shutter response is
required.
Use to capture natural lighting under dim
light or where use of fl ash is prohibited.
If (camera shake) icon appears, care
should be taken to avoid blurring.
Use to "fi ll-in" (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light. If
(camera shake) icon appears, care should
be taken to avoid blurring.
