The flash can be used when taking still images. To select the flash mode, press the flash mode button (1) on the back of the camera until the desired mode is displayed. Press the shutter- release button to set the mode. The active flash mode is displayed in the top left corner of the LCD monitor. When the camera is turned off and auto reset (p. 55) is active, the flash mode is reset to autoflash with red-eye reduction if this mode was last set, if not the mode will be reset to autoflash. While the flash is charging, the shutter cannot be released.

Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low- light and backlit conditions.

Red-eye reduction - the flash fires multiple bursts before the main flash burst to reduce red- eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking photographs of people or animals, the pre- flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
