shadows.

is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective

This mode can reduce the red-eye phenomenon when you want to capture

When capturing images, the red-eye phenomenon can be reduced by asking
the subject (person) to look at the camera lens or get as close to the camera

This mode opens the shutter for a longer than normal period and fires the
flash just before it closes. Select this mode for illuminating a foreground
subject yet allowing a darker background to be rendered as well. It is
appropriate for capturing the night scene with people in the foreground.
