■Flash setting

r: AUTO

The ﬂash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

s: AUTO/Red-eye reduction*1 The ﬂash is automatically activated according to the recording condition. It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appear red in photo ﬂash) by triggering the ﬂash before actually recording the picture.

After that, the ﬂash is activated for actual recording again.

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

t: Forced ON

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

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

q: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction*1

•In [PARTY] or [CANDLE LIGHT] in scene mode (P47), the ﬂash mode is set to Forced ON/Red-eye reduction.

u: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction*1 When you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature makes the shutter speed slow when

the ﬂash is activated, so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.

•You can use this setting only in [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [PARTY] or [CANDLE LIGHT] in scene mode (P47).

v: Forced OFF

The ﬂash is not activated in any recording condition.

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