until your desired flash mode is displayed on the LCD

Flash button

screen.

This camera is equipped with five flash modes:

Auto flash 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.

Slow sync.

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 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 try to change the flash while turning the zoom button. Change the flash after releasing the zoom button if necessary.
