Flash Off The flash will not fire, even in dark places. Use
this mode in places where flash photography is
prohibited and in bright indoor settings.
Auto The flash will fire automatically in dark places
and where there is backlighting.
Forced Flash Backlighting and strong light can produce dark
shadows on the faces of the subjects. Use this
mode in such situations. The flash will always
fire, regardless of the brightness.
Slow Synchro The flash can be fired to illuminate the subject
while a slow shutter speed correctly exposes the
background. By firing the flash, it is possible to
avoid the background alone being darkened.
Use this mode at indoor parties, etc., to clearly
photograph the subjects while making the most
of the background atmosphere.
