Autoflash – the flash fires automatically in low-light and backlit conditions.
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.
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. The camera-shake warning may appear when flash cancel is selected (p. 31).
Red-eye reduction – the flash fires twice 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.
