Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a
backlight.
Auto
The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark
shadows.

conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the
