SHOOTING SINGLE SHOTS

Using the flash

The flash is not only used for photographing under dark conditions, but is also convenient for example when the subject is in shadow or lit from behind. Your camera is equipped with four flash modes: red-eye reduction, auto flash, forced flash, and no flash. Select the flash mode that is suitable for the shooting conditions. The flash is available only when shooting single-shot still images.
