: AUTO
The flash fires automatically according to
the lighting condition.
: AUTO/Red-eye reduction
The flash fires automatically according to
the recording situation.
It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (when
a subject's eyes appear red in flash light).
Use it when you take pictures of people or
animals in low lighting conditions.
: Forced ON
The flash fires every time a picture is
captured.
Use this setting when your subject is
back-lit or under fluorescent light.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the flash
fire and the shutter speed slow (from
1 second to 1/2000th), so that the dark
background landscape will become bright.
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye
phenomenon.
We recommend that you use a tripod.
