Flash modes

Flash fires

Auto

When the lighting conditions require it.

 

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

Fill

when the subject is in shadow or is “backlit” (when light is behind the

 

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

 

In Red Eye flash, you can reduce red eye by using a preflash or by using

 

automatic red eye reduction. To make the camera:

Red Eye

Preflash, turn the Red Eye Preflash on. (The first flash shrinks the eye

 

pupil to reduce the chance of red eye.)

Flash once and automatically remove red eye, turn the Red Eye Preflash off (see page 33).

 

Off

Never

 

 

 

Your camera saves the flash setting, even after you turn off the camera. To make the camera return to its default settings (such as Auto flash), turn off Maintain Settings

(see page 34).
