Flash

Your camera is equipped with a built-in flash that offers a red-eye reduction feature. The flash has an effective range of approximately 1.6 to 9.8 ft. (0.68 to 3 m). There are four Flash settings:

Auto— the flash fires automatically when you press the SHUTTER button and the camera determines that there is not enough light.

Red-eye—if the camera determines that there is not enough light, the flash fires once when you press the SHUTTER button to reduce the chance of red-eye and then flashes a second time, 600 milliseconds later, when the picture is taken.
