ª Available flash settings

: AUTO

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition. It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appear red in photo flash) by lighting the flash at

1 second before actually recording the picture.

Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting conditions.

: Forced ON

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording condition. Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction When you take a picture with a dark background landscape, it makes the shutter speed slow when the flash is activated, so that the dark background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.

Use this when taking pictures of people in front of a dark background.
