: AUTO
The flash is automatically fired when the
recording conditions make it necessary.
: AUTO/Red-eye reduction
The flash is automatically fired when the
recording conditions make it necessary.
It is fired once before the actual recording
to reduce the red-eye phenomenon (eyes
of the subject appearing red in the picture)
and then fired again for the actual
recording.
• Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.
: Forced ON
The flash is fired every time regardless of
the recording conditions.
• Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction
• The flash setting is set to Forced ON/
Red-eye reduction only when you set
[PARTY] (P67) or [CANDLE LIGHT]
(P68) in scene mode.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
If you take a picture with a dark background
landscape, this feature will slow the shutter
speed when the flash is fired so that the
dark background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
• Use this when you take pictures of
people in front of a dark background.
: Forced OFF
The flash is not fired in any recording
conditions.
• Use this when you take pictures in
places where the use of the flash is not
permitted.
1 The flash is fired twice. The subject
should not move until the second
flash is fired.
