Recording pictures (basic)

r: AUTO

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

s: 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 triggering the flash before actually recording the picture.

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

The flash goes off twice if you are using AUTO/Red-eye reduction [s], Forced ON/Red-eye reduction [q], and Slow-sync./Red-eye reduction [u]. The first flash is preparatory. Do not move until after the second flash.

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

t: Forced ON

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.

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

In [PARTY] (P67) or [CANDLE LIGHT] (P66) in scene mode, the flash mode is set to Forced ON/Red-eye reduction.

u: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction 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.

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