Photography Using the Flash (continued)

[] Auto

In this mode, the flash fires automatically according to the photography conditions. This mode is ideal for general photography where you are not trying to achieve any particular effect.

[

] Red-Eye Auto/[

] Red-Eye Forced Flash

 

 

Use this mode to avoid the red-eye effect (Additional Information, Glossary) when photographing people in

 

low-light conditions.

 

 

 

In the [

] Red-Eye Auto mode, the flash fires according to the photographic conditions. When firing is set

 

to automatic, the flash fires twice.

 

In the [

] Red-Eye Forced Flash mode, the flash always fires twice.

 

Red-eye is reduced more effectively if the subject looks directly towards the camera. Effectiveness is also

 

increased if the distance between the subject and camera is kept as short as possible.

[] Forced Flash

In this mode, the flash always fires. Use the Forced Flash mode when the subject is backlighted, or in artificial light (fluorescent lighting, etc.).

The flash also fires during macro photography.

[ ] Suppressed Flash

Use the Suppressed Flash mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the flash to have any effect, such as theater performances or indoor sporting events.

[] Slow Synchro

The flash is fired at a slower shutter speed.

This flash mode is effective when shooting pictures so that not only the subject but also the background are both clearly reproduced in artificial light (backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc.) or with people against the night as a background scene.
