The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.

before the actual recording of the
picture.

people in low lighting conditions.

The flash is activated every time a
picture is recorded forcibly.
Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the
shutter speed slow when the flash is
activated, so that the dark
background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
Use this when taking pictures of
people with the dark background.
: Forced OFF
When you do not open the flash, this
mode is set. Even in dark places, the
flash is not activated.
Use this when taking pictures in
places where use of the flash is not
allowed.
