Setting the Flash (continued)
About Flash
The flash has the following 6 options.
[
] Auto
A default setting. The flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions.
[
] 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.).
[
] Suppressed Flash
The flash does not fire. 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.
[
] Auto Red-Eye Reduction
"Red-eye" (when the eyes of people in photographs are red) happens when people are
photographed in dark places using a flash, and is caused by the light of the flash
reflecting the eyes. When the auto red-eye reduction mode is set, the flash is emitted
automatically according to the conditions and red-eye is reduced.
Red-eye reduction is most effective when the people being photographed are looking
into the camera, and when you photograph from as close as possible.
[
] Red-Eye Forced Flash
The flash always fires. Red-eye is reduced more effectively.
[
] Slow Synchro
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when taking pictures so that not only the subject but also
the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent
lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.
