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.

Flash button

This camera is equipped with five flash modes:

Auto fl ash is enabled

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.
