HP R707 manual Setting the Flash

Setting the Flash

NOTE The flash does not work in Panorama mode, with the Burst setting, or while recording video clips.

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

button until the desired setting appears in the Image Display. The following table describes each of the flash settings on the camera.

NOTE If you change the flash setting, the camera will remain in that setting until you change it or turn off the camera. Except in My Mode (page 52), when you turn the camera on again, flash resets to the default Auto Flash setting.

Setting Description

Auto Flash The camera measures light and uses the flash if

Anecessary.

Red-EyeThe camera measures light and uses the flash with

Ared-eye reduction if necessary (see the following

NOTE for a description of red-eye reduction).

Flash On	The camera always flashes. 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 flash, no matter the lighting
	conditions.
Night	The camera fires the flash if necessary (using 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 (see the following NOTE for a
	description of red-eye reduction).
