Flash Modes

The camera has four flash modes: Automatic Flash (default), Red-Eye Reduction, Fill Flash (on), and Flash Off. The modes appear cyclically when you press the button on the rear side of the camera. The table below will help choose the appropriate flash mode:

	Flash Mode			Description
	[	]	Auto Flash	The flash fires automatically according to the ambient
				conditions. Select this mode for general photography.

	[	]	Red-eye	The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash
			Reduction	fires.	This causes the pupil in the human eye to
				constrict, reducing the red-eye. Select this mode when
				taking pictures of people and animals in low-light
				conditions.

	[	] Fill Flash (on)		The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding
				brightness. Select this mode for recording images with
				high	contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
				Also known as forced flash.

	[	] Flash Off		The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking
				images in a place where flash photography is prohibit-
				ed, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the
				effective range of the flash.

•You can also turn the flash on and off from the record menu.

•When camera is set to External Flash Exposure mode the flash is always on and can not be turned off. This is necessary to automatically trigger the external slave flash.
