Description
The camera measures the available light
and fires the flash if necessary. This is the
default setting.
The camera measures light and fires the
flash with red-eye reduction if necessary.
The camera always fires the flash. If the
light is behind your subject, use this setting
to increase the light on the front of your
subject. This is called "fill-flash".
The camera will not fire the flash. Use this
setting when you do not want a flash (such
as with distant objects). This may result in
long exposures that will require using a
tripod.
The camera fires the flash to illuminate
objects in the foreground. It then continues to
expose as if the flash had not fired to gather
the background. This setting only works
when taking pictures of still objects. Hold the
camera steady to prevent blurry images. For
best results, use a tripod.
