The Control Buttons

You can adjust the following settings using the control buttons on the top of the camera:

Flash

The built-in flash has these four settings, which are effective within a range of 3 to 10 feet:

AUTO

Auto sets the flash to go off automatically

4

whenever it’s needed (factory setting).

Red-eye reduction sets the flash to blink rapidly

@while the picture is being taken. This prevents the subject’s eyes from appearing red.

Flash off disables the flash even in inadequate

0 lighting.

Forced flash sets the flash to go off for every

5 picture.
