Flash mode

Description

 

 

Auto flash

The flash fires automatically according to the ambient lighting conditions.

(No indicator)

Select this mode for general photography.

 

 

Red-eye reduction

Using this mode can reduce the “red-eye phenomenon”, which is people

 

with red glaring eyes caused by the flash.

 

When you press the shutter button, the pre-flash comes on, followed by

 

the real flash which finishes the shot.

 

Until the real flash comes on, do not move the camera or let the subject

 

move.

 

If the subject is not facing the pre-flash or final flash, or the distance to

 

the subject is too far, the red-eye reduction effect may not be apparent.

 

If flash is in the AUTO flash mode, it will not fire in a bright place.

 

 

Slow Sync

The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.This flash mode is effective

 

when taking pictures so that not only the subject but also the background

 

are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent

 

lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.

 

Shutter speeds will be slower, so use a tripod to prevent shaking.

 

If the subject is moving, the picture will be blurred.

 

 

Forced flash

The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness.

 

Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting)

 

and deep shadows.

Flash off

The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking images in a place

 

where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the

 

subject is beyond the effective range of the flash.

 

Use a tripod to prevent shaking as shutter speeds are slower in the dark.
