: AUTO/Red-eye reduction¢1

The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make it necessary. It is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then activated again for the actual recording.

•Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting conditions.

: Forced ON

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions.

•Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.

: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction¢1

•The flash setting is set to Forced ON/ Red-eye reduction only when you set [PARTY] (P46) or [CANDLE LIGHT] (P46) in scene mode.

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction¢1

If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.

: Forced OFF

The flash is not activated in any recording conditions.

•Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the flash is not permitted.
