AUTO FLASH

The camera determines the need for a flash

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

based on lighting conditions. The flash setting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reverts to AUTO FLASH each time you turn the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

camera on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RED-EYE

The flash will be used if needed. Red-eye

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reduction minimizes the occurrence of red-eye in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pictures of people or animals by emitting several

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

short flashes to condition the subject’s eyes to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the flash, followed by a final flash to take the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

picture. If you are photographing people, tell

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

them to wait for the final flash before moving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLASH ON

The flash will be used in all lighting conditions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The amount of light provided by the flash will be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adjusted according to the current lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions. Use this setting when the lighting for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the entire picture is sufficient, but the lighting for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the subject is not, as in a backlighting situation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is commonly called “fill flash.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLASH OFF

The flash will not be used, regardless of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lighting conditions. Use this setting in places

where flash photography is not permitted. If necessary, use a tripod to hold the camera steady.

To change the flash setting

1Turn the camera on.

2Press the FLASH ( ) button repeatedly until the flash setting you want appears on the status LCD. The button cycles through the four available flash settings.
