Fill flash

Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows.

Reduces the red colour of eyes when taking a photo.

Off

The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the self-timer to avoid blurred photos.
