Panasonic DMC-FZ18 operating instructions Forced on

Advanced (Recording pictures)

: Forced ON

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions.

•Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.

: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction￿

•The flash setting is set to Forced ON/ Red-eye reduction only when you set [PARTY] (P60) or [CANDLE LIGHT] (P60) in scene mode.

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction￿

If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.

•Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark background.

: Forced OFF

The flash is not activated in any recording conditions.

•Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the flash is not permitted.

￿The flash is activated twice. The subject should not move until the second flash is activated.
