Auto (default setting)

AF-assist illumination will be used to assist the focus operation when the subject is poorly lit. The illuminator has a range of about 10 m (32 ft.) at the maximum wide- angle position and about 3.5 m (11 ft.) at the maximum telephoto position.

However, note that for some focus areas or scene modes, the AF-assist illuminator may not light even if Auto is set.

Press the dbutton Mz(Setup menu) (A153) MRed-eye reduction

Choose the red-eye reduction method when the flash mode (A34) is V (auto

with red-eye reduction).

Pre-flash on (default setting)

The flash repeatedly fires pre-flashes at low intensity before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect, and it then performs the red-eye reduction process using picture compensation.

The time from when the shutter-release button is pressed to when the shutter is actually released is longer than normal.

Pre-flash off

Pre-flashes will not fire. The shutter is released immediately when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, and the red-eye reduction process is performed using picture compensation.
