Photography Using the Flash (continued)
[ No display ] Auto
In this mode, the flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions. This mode is ideal for
general photography where you are not trying to achieve any particular effect.
[ ] Red-Eye Forced Flash
Use this mode to avoid the red-eye effect ( Additional Information, Glossary) when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
Red-eye is reduced more effectively if the subject looks directly towards the camera. Effectiveness is also
increased if the distance between the subject and camera is kept as short as possible.
[ ] Forced Flash
In this mode, the flash always fires. Use the Forced Flash mode when the subject is backlit, or in artificial light
(fluorescent lighting, etc.).
The flash also fires during macro photography.
[ ] Suppressed Flash
Use the Suppressed Flash mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the
flash to have any effect, such as theater performances or indoor sporting events.
