Using the Flash Features

By default, this camera is set to automatic flash mode which means that it will determine when to use this feature or not. However, is some situations, it may be useful to manually select the appropriate flash mode. When taking

pictures in difficult lighting conditions, use the Flash button to select the desired mode. This function cannot be activated while recording videos or continuous shooting.

To activate Flash:

•Press the Flash/Right button on your camera repeatedly until your desired flash mode is displayed on the LCD

screen.

Flash button

This camera is equipped with five flash modes:	Auto flash is enabled
AUTO.
AUTO.
The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines
extra lighting is needed. This is the default mode of the
camera.
Red-eye reduction.
The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The
first flash strobe is designed to force the iris of the subject to
reduce in size to compensate for the bright light, thus reducing
the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second
strobe is when the photo is taken.

Forced on.

The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button regardless of lighting conditions. This may be useful in some bright backlight situations.
