Using the flash
Your camera saves the flash setting, even after you turn off the camera. To make the
camera return to its default settings (such as Auto flash), turn off Maintain Settings
(see page 32).
For flash settings in each mode, see page 58.
Flash modes Flash fires
Auto When the lighting conditions require it.
Fill Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use
when the subject is in shadow or is “backlit” (when light is behind the
subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.
Red Eye In Red Eye flash, you can reduce red eye by using a preflash or by using
automatic red eye reduction. To make the camera:
■Preflash, turn the Red Eye Preflash on. (The first flash shrinks the eye
pupil to reduce the chance of red eye.)
■Flash once and automatically remove red eye, turn the Red Eye
Preflash off (see page 35 ).
NOTE: When automatic red eye reduction is on, the camera cannot take more
than 2 pictures in quick succession. Take more pictures when the Ready
light turns green.
Off Never
Press the flash button repeatedly to
scroll through flash modes.
The current flash mode is shown
in the LCD status area.
