When to use it
Best choice in most situations.
Use for portraits (works best when sub-
ject is well within range of flash and
looking at pre-flash). When using this
mode, the red-eye reduction function
will also work automatically for the pic-
ture recorded. Not recommended when
quick shutter response is required.
Use to capture natural lighting under
dim light or where use of flash is prohib-
ited. If 2 (camera shake) icon appears,
care should be taken to avoid blurring.
Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light.
