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 you take pictures of people in front of a dark background.

: Forced OFF

The flash is not activated in any recording condition.

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

The flash is automatically activated according to the recording condition.

It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appear red in the picture) by triggering the flash before actually recording the picture. After that, the flash is activated for actual recording again.
