When to use it
Best choice in most circumstances.
Use when subject is outside range
of flash, to capture natural lighting
under dim light, or where use of a
flash is prohibited. Use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent blurring.
Use for portraits (works best when
subjects are well within range of
flash and looking at pre-flash). Note
that red-eye reduction pre-flash
delays shutter release; choose an-
other mode when photographing
moving subjects.
Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows
and back-lit subjects.
Use to capture both subject and
background at night or under dim
light. Use of a tripod is recommend-
ed to prevent blurring.
