The flash can be used when
taking still images. The flash
mode is selected in the main
menu of the recording mode
(P.34). The active flash mode is
displayed in the top left corner
of the LCD monitor. When the

Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-
light and backlit conditions.
Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple
bursts before the main flash burst to reduce red-
eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the
retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking
photographs of people or animals, the pre-
flashes contract the pupils of the subject's eyes.
