Flash

Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight.

Auto

The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.

Fill flash

Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows.
