Using the flash
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.
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.
