SHOOTING WITH THE 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 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).
