The Flash button allows you to cycle through the flash settings on the camera. To change the flash setting, press the Flash

Setting Description

Auto Flash The camera measures the light level and uses the

Aflash if necessary.

Red-EyeThe camera measures the light level and uses the flash

Awith red-eye reduction if necessary (see the following

NOTE for a description of red-eye reduction).

Flash On	The camera always uses 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 use flash, no matter the lighting
	conditions. Use this setting to capture poorly lit
	subjects that are beyond the flash range. Exposure
	times may be increased when using this setting, so it is
	recommended that you use a tripod to avoid camera
	shake.
Night	The camera uses the flash with red-eye reduction if
	necessary to illuminate objects in the foreground (see
	the following NOTE for a description of red-eye
	reduction). The camera then continues to expose as if
	the flash had not been used, to gather the
	background.
