Flash setting

r: AUTO

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

s: AUTO/Red-eye reduction*1 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 triggering the flash before actually recording the picture.

After that, the flash is activated for actual recording again.

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

t: 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.

q: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction*1

In [PARTY] or [CANDLE LIGHT] in scene mode (P47), the flash mode is set to Forced ON/Red-eye reduction.

u: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction*1 When you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature 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.

You can use this setting only in [NIGHT PORTRAIT], [PARTY] or [CANDLE LIGHT] in scene mode (P47).

v: Forced OFF

The flash is not activated in any recording condition.

Use this when taking pictures in places where the use of the flash is not permitted.
