The flash discharges regardless of lighting conditions.

• The flash is always off when the Capture mode is set to C, Continuous shooting, Infinity-Landscape, or Fireworks.

• When using the flash, it always discharges once before taking the picture, to assist with metering.

• In Auto + red-eye reduction or Flash On + red-eye reduction, the flash discharges once before taking the picture to make the iris of the subject’s eyes contract, shortly before firing again to take the picture.

• The shutter speed will be slower with the flash off, or in low light conditions such as a night scene. Use a tripod to prevent camera movement.
