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, so that the dark
background landscape will become bright.
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye
phenomenon.
I_: Forced OFF
When you do not open the flash, this mode is
set.
Even being in dark places, the flash does not
fire.
Set it when you take pictures in places where
using flash is not allowed.
