Flash

 

•Off (): Using the auto discharge function, the flash does not fire.

•Auto (): Using the auto discharge function, the flash fires under low light conditions in Auto mode.

•Red-Eye (): “Red-eye” is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken in dark environments with a flash. The Red-eye flash option can be used to reduce this phenomenon.

•Fill-In ( ): Using the Fill-In flash mode, the flash fires regardless the environmental light conditions. You can effectively use this flash mode when photographing against the light.

•Slow Sync (): When you take a picture in low light conditions, you may find a difference in the aperture between the subject and the background.

This allows you to have the same brightness for the background and subject when using a slow shutter speed and firing the flash.
