Flash modes

To set the flash mode, simply press the flash mode button (1) on the back of the camera until the appropriate mode is indicated.

Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low- light and backlit conditions.

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.

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.
