Description

 

 

 

 

[

Fill flash (on)

brightness.

 

 

 

Select this mode for recording images with

 

 

 

high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.

 

 

 

 

[

The flash will not fire.

 

 

 

Select this mode when taking images in a

Red-eye reduction

The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main

 

 

 

flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye to

 

 

 

constrict, reducing the red-eye phenomenon.

 

 

 

Select this mode when taking images of people and

 

 

 

animals in low-light conditions.
