Flash Setting - Sanyo Xacti VPC-S70EX Instruction Manual

FLASH SETTING

The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light,
but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera's
flash has four modes of operation (auto mode, forced flash mode, flash off
mode and red-eye reduction mode). Select the flash mode that is appropriate
for the surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only when taking
single-shot still images.

k: The camera will detect the
subject brightness and use the
flash only when required. In a
backlight situation, if only the
center of the image is very dark,
the flash will operate to
compensate (auto).
m: The flash will operate with every
image captured regardless of
the conditions. Use this setting
under backlight conditions,
when the subject is in shade,
under fluorescent lighting
conditions, etc. (forced flash).
l: The flash will not operate even
in dark situations. Use this
setting when capturing an
image in a location where flash
photography is prohibited, or
when shooting a night
landscape scene (flash off).
J: The digital camera will detect
the subject brightness and use
the flash only when required. At
this time the flash will operate in
a manner that reduces the red
reflection ("red-eye") in the
subject's eyes (red-eye
reduction).
