n Flash setting
r : AUTO
The flash is automatically activated

s : AUTO/Red-eye reduction*
The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition. It
reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of
the subject appear red in photo flash) by
triggering the flash before actually
recording the picture.
After that, the flash is activated for actual
recording again.
• Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.
t : Forced ON
The flash is activated every time regardless
of the recording condition.
• Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.
q : Forced ON/Red-eye reduction*
• In [PARTY] (P64) or [CANDLE LIGHT]
(P65) in scene mode, the flash mode is
set to Forced ON/Red-eye reduction.
u : Slow sync./Red-eye reduction*
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, this feature 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 in front of a dark background.
v : Forced OFF
The flash is not activated in any recording
condition.
• Use this when taking pictures in places
where the use of the flash is not permitted.
