Flash Shooting

There are four flash modes:

Auto

: This setting automatically flashes when shooting under dark conditions.

Forced on

: Select this setting to force the flash.

Red-eye prevention

: Select this setting to minimize the “red-eye” effect that occurs when using the

 

flash. The flash is forced to light.

Off

: Select this setting to disable the flash even when shooting under dark conditions.

 

Note that in order to prevent blurry photos a tripod should be used with this

 

setting, since the shutter speed is slower.
