Icon Setting Description

AAuto The camera measures the available light and fires the flash if necessary.

ARed-EyeThe camera measures the available light

and fires the flash with red-eye reduction if necessary.

Flash On The camera always fires the flash. If the light is behind your subject, you can 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.

Night The camera fires the flash with red-eye reduction 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. You may also want to use a tripod for better results.

NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the blood vessels in the retinas of the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When

you set the flash to either Red-EyeA or Night

, the

camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the

captured images of humans or animals.

 

It will take longer to take a picture with either the

 

Red-Eye A or Night

flash setting. The shutter is

delayed because of the additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the second flash.
