Setting The Flash (Intelligent Flash) - FujiFilm FinePix S5700 Owner's Manual

d Setting the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
Flash photography is useful for taking pictures at night or
indoor dark locations. Choose from 6 flash modes
according to the type of shot. See p.68 for information on
the available Photography modes.
MEMO
By calculating subject distance and brightness, the camera
automatically adjusts the flash amount and sensitivity to
suit shooting conditions. This maintains consistent balance
of bright/dark areas across the image in low-light
conditions (dimly-lit room, etc). The Intelligent Flash feature
guarantees consistent results when using the flash.
The flash setting changes
each time you press d (q).
MEMO
When pressing the shutter button down halfway, b
appears on the screen before the flash fires.
AUTO Auto flash (not displayed)
Use this mode for ordinary photography.
The flash fires as required by the shooting conditions.
b RED EYE REDUCTION
This mode is suitable for shooting portraits in
low-light conditions.
Use this mode to minimize red-eye (eyes
appear in red in the finished photo).
MEMO Red-eye effect
When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-
light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the
picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting
off the inside of the eye.
d FORCED FLASH
Use this mode in backlit scenes, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting.
In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark
conditions.
C SUPPRESSED FLASH
This mode is suitable for situations where the flash cannot
be used.
Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in
Suppressed flash mode in the dark condition.
Any time, flash does not fire.
c SLOW SYNCHRO,
n RED EYE & SLOW
This mode allows you to take pictures of people at night
that clearly show both your subjects and the night time
backdrop. To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.
Using n synchronizes Red-eye reduction mode.
Using 8 selects slow shutter speeds of up to 3 seconds.
CAUTION
In bright scenes, overexposure may occur.
