appear in the subject's eyes.

automatically correct red-eye.
Using the flash
Use the flash when taking photos in low-light conditions, or when more light is needed in the
photos.
Press the flash release to pop the flash up, and then tap
option. The available options vary by mode.
• Off: Use this to turn the flash off.
• Auto: Use this to automatically use the flash. The flash fires when the subject or
background is dark.
• Red-eye: Use this to prevent a red glow in the subject's eyes.
• Fill in: The flash always fires, even in bright light. This helps brighten shadows on the
subject.
• Slow sync: The shutter stays open longer than the time required for the flash exposure,
so the camera can capture details of the background.
• Red-eye fix: Use this to correct a red glow in the subject's eyes.
• Keep the flash retracted when not in use to avoid damage.
• Forcing the flash to open may cause damage to the device.
• Flash options are not available in some modes.
• If light from the flash is reflected, or if a substantial amount of dust is in the air, tiny
spots may appear in the photo.
