Auto flash
Use this feature with or without red-eye
reduction to take pictures of scenes with or
without people.
Fill flash
When in bright sun or when bright light
comes from behind the subject, dark
shadows (especially on faces) may occur.
Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and to
add sparkle to subject’s eyes.
Flash off
When you do not want to use the flash,
especially indoors where flash is prohibited
or to capture the ambiance of existing light,
use the flash-off feature. The camera-
warning light (12) “blinks” red to alert you
that the shutter speed is slow. In these
situations—use high-speed film, place the
camera on a tripod or another firm support,
and hold your camera steady to take
a picture.
