JVC GC-A70 Auto Flash, Flash Off, Using Self-Timer, Setting the Image Resolution and Quality

Auto Flash

Red-Eye Reduction (RER)

Flash Off

The flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions. It is suitable for general photography.

Use this mode to avoid the red-eye effect when photographing people or animals in low light conditions.

Used where the use of flash is prohibited or when utilizing the night view/indoor lighting for shooting. The flash mode can also be turned off when the distance to the subject is too far away for the flash to have any effect.

Notes:

zWhen shooting using flash, although the flash fires twice but the actual shoot is at the second flash. The first fire is to determine whether flash is required. The second flash will not be fired if it is not required.

zThe red-eye reduction function may have little effect if the subject is not directly facing the pre flash or main flash, or when the distance between the camera and the subject is too far.

zFlash cannot be used during Macro function. It automatically becomes Flash Off.
