Description
The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines extra lighting is needed.
This is the default mode of the camera.
The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The first flash strobe is
designed to force the iris of the subject to reduce in size to compensate for the bright
light, thus reducing the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second strobe
is when the photo is taken.
The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button
conditions. This may be useful in some bright backlight situations.
This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground
(subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter
speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground
(subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If
Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.
The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light
situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.
