FLASH MODES

Flash mode

The flash can be used when taking still images. The flash mode is set with the main menu of the recording mode (p. 36). The active flash mode is displayed in the top left corner of the monitor. Flash modes can be assigned to the controller with controller customization (p. 54).

When the camera is turned off and auto reset (p. 55) is active, the flash mode is reset to autoflash or autoflash with red-eye

reduction, whichever of these two modes was last used. While the flash is charging, flash mode indicator turns red and the shutter cannot be released.

When photographing a subject closer than 20 cm (0.7 ft.), use flash cancel, see page 39.

Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low- light and backlit conditions.

Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple bursts before the main flash burst to reduce red- eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking photographs of people or animals, the pre- flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
