Digital zoom is not available for video recording.

Slight camera movement in digital zoom will make it more difficult to focus on objects/subjects. Use of a tripod can reduce this issue.

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.

Description

 

 

AUTO

The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines extra lighting is needed.

 

This is the default mode of the camera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The first flash strobe is

 

Red-eye

designed to force the iris of the subject to reduce in size to compensate for the bright

 

reduction

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.

 

 

This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground

 

 

(subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter

 

Slow sync

speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground

 

 

(subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If

 

 

Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.

 

Forced off

The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light

 

situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.

 

 

Flash function is only available in shooting still images but not available in Burst and AEB modes.

Do not charge the flash while pressing the zoom button. Charge the flash after releasing the zoom button if necessary.
