Description
The flash fires automatically according to the
ambient lighting conditions.
Select this mode for general photography.
The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main
flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human
eye to constrict, reducing the red-eye
phenomenon.
Select this mode when taking images of people
and animals in low-light conditions.
The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.
This flash mode is effective when capturing
images 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.
The flash will always fire regardless of the
surrounding brightness.
Select this mode for recording images with high
contrast (backlighting ) and deep shadows.
The flash will not fire.
Select this mode when capturing images in a
place where flash photography is prohibited, or
when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.
