Using the flash

NOTE The flash does not work while recording video clips.

To change the flash setting, press the Flash button on the top of the camera until the desired setting appears on the Image Display. The camera remains in the current flash setting until you change it or turn off the camera.

Icon Setting Description

AAuto The camera measures the available light and fires the flash if necessary. This is the default setting.

ARed-eyeThe camera measures light and fires the Reduction flash with red-eye reduction if necessary.

Flash On The camera always fires the flash. If the
	light is behind your subject, use this setting
	to increase the light on the front of your
	subject. This is called “fill-flash”.
Flash Off The camera will not fire the flash. Use this
	setting when you do not want a flash (such
	as with distant objects). This may result in
	long exposures that will require using a
	tripod.
Night	The camera fires the flash to illuminate
	objects in the foreground. It then continues to
	expose as if the flash had not fired to gather
	the background. This setting only works
	when taking pictures of still objects. Hold the
	camera steady to prevent blurry images. For
	best results, use a tripod.
