Description

The flash fires automatically according to the ambient conditions. Select this mode for general photography.

The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye to constrict, reducing the red-eye. Select this mode when taking pictures of people and animals in low-light conditions.

The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness. Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows. Also known as forced flash.

The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective range of the flash.

The flash fires and the shutter speed is reduced so that the subject will be exposed correctly while taking a image with dark (night) background.
