AUTO-RECORDING MODE
This section covers the operation in auto-recording mode. The sophisticated technology employed in this mode frees the photographer from complicated camera settings. Although automated, the camera’s operation can be changed to meet various conditions as well as to suit personal shooting preferences.

To set the flash mode, simply press the flash-mode/copy button on the back of the camera until the appropriate mode is indicated.
Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-light situations. If the flash will fire, the flash indicator will appear on the LCD monitor when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down.
Fill-flash - the flash fires with each exposure regardless of the amount of ambient light. Fill-flash can be used to reduce harsh shadows caused by strong direct light or sunshine.
Red-eye reduction - multiple flashes are used before the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when taking photographs of people or animals. The pre-flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is prohibited, natural light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range.
