This section introduces various functions available during image recording. Use them to enhance the range of your camera work.

[] Auto flash mode (default):

[ ] Red-eye reduction auto-flash mode:

The camera automatically determines lighting conditions and switches between flash and available-light exposure as needed.

The flash fires twice to help reduce the “red-eye” phenomenon*.

When shooting with the LCD monitor turned OFF:

Note that the LCD monitor must be turned ON to set functions or to confirm previous settings.

[

] Fill-in

flash mode: In this mode, the flash fires regardless of

 

 

 

 

surrounding light conditions. This mode

 

 

 

 

provides fill-flash when shooting in a backlight

 

 

 

 

environment or under strong sunlight when

 

 

 

 

shadows are cast on the main subject.

[

] Flash-off mode: In this mode the flash does not fire. This mode is

 

 

 

 

effective when shooting an evening sunset or to

 

 

 

 

preserve indoor mood.

*“Red-eye” Phenomenon: This phenomenon may occur when using flash to photograph persons or pets under dark conditions. In some cases, the flash reflects against the retinas of the subject’s eyes, causing the pupils to appear red in the photograph.
