Flash Setting - Sanyo VPC-E6EX Xacti Instruction Manual

FLASH SETTING

The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,
but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera's
flash has four modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode,
flash off mode, and red-eye reduction mode). Select the flash mode that is
appropriate for the surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only
when taking single-shot still images.

The camera will detect the subject
brightness and use the flash only
when required. In a backlight
situation, if only the center of the
image is very dark, the flash will
operate to compensate (auto
flash).
m: The flash will operate with every
image captured regardless of the
conditions. Use this setting under
backlight conditions, when the
subject is in shade, under
fluorescent lighting conditions, etc.
(forced flash).
l: The flash will not operate even in dark situations. Use this setting
when capturing an image in a location where flash photography is
prohibited, or when shooting a night landscape scene (flash off).
J: The digital camera will detect the subject brightness and use the
flash only when required. At this time the flash will operate in a
manner that reduces the red reflection ("red-eye") in the subject's
eyes (red-eye reduction).
