This camera is equipped with five flash modes:

The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines
extra lighting is needed. This is the default mode of the
camera.
Red-eye reduction.
The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The

strobe is when the photo is taken.

The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button regardless of lighting conditions. This may be useful in some
