The flash is used not only for taking pictures where there is insufficient light, but also when the subject is in shade or in backlight conditions. Your camera’s flash has three modes of operation (automatic flash mode, forced flash mode and flash off mode). Select the flash mode that is appropriate for the surrounding conditions. The flash can be enabled only when capturing still images.
