Olympus Zoom 80 Wide DIX manual Twilight or night scenes

OFF (Flash Override)

When you don't want the flash to fire even in the dark or when you want to shoot such subjects as fireworks.

In the Flash-Off mode, the flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited or in

twilight or night scenes.

Note: Since a slow shutter speed (down to 4 seconds) is

automatically selected in low-light situations when in the

Flash-Off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blurred pictures caused by shaking the camera. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.
