Flash mode

Flash fires

Auto

When the lighting conditions require it.

 

 

Fill

Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use

 

when the subject is in shadow or is "backlit" (when the light is behind

 

the subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

 

 

Redeye

Once, so the subject’s eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires

 

again when the picture is taken. (If the lighting conditions require flash

 

but do not require Red-eye reduction, the flash may fire only once.)

 

 

Slow

Regardless of the shutter speed and right after the shutter fully opens.

front

Only useful when slower shutter speeds are used. For other slow-flash

sync

settings, see page 52.

 

 

Off

Never.
