Flash modes

The flash can be used when taking still images. To select the flash mode, press the right key of the controller (1) until the appropriate mode is displayed. The active flash mode is displayed in the top left corner of the LCD monitor.

Autoflash – the flash fires automatically in low- light conditions.

Red-eye reduction – the flash fires a single burst 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 photo- graphs of people or animals, the pre-flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes. Red- eye reduction is used with fill flash with manual exposure.

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.

Night portrait – for flash portraits at night. The

camera automatically balances the flash and Fill flash background exposures. When taking portraits,

ask your subject not to move after the flash burst; the shutter may still be open for the back- ground exposure.
