Using Flash Features
By default, this camera is set to automatic flash mode which means that it will determine when to use this feature
or not. However, is some situations, it may be useful to manually select the appropriate flash mode. When taking
pictures in difficult lighting conditions, use the Flash button
to select the desired mode. This function cannot
be activated while recording videos or continuous shooting.
To activate Flash:
Tap the onscreen• Flash buttontodisplaythepopupashmenuandtapdesiredashmodeicon.
Icon. Item Description
AUTO
The flash fires automatically whenever the camera determines extra lighting is needed.
This is the default mode of the camera.
Red-eye
reduction
The flash fires twice to help reduce the red-eye effect. The first flash strobe is
designed to force the iris of the subject to reduce in size to compensate for the bright
light, thus reducing the reflection (red eye effect) of the Eye retina. The second strobe
is when the photo is taken.
Forced on
The flash fires whenever you press the Shutter button
regardless of
lighting conditions. This may be useful in some bright backlight situations.
Slow sync
This would be used to capture a dimly lit background while keeping the foreground
(subject) properly lighted. This flash mode forces the camera to use a slower shutter
speed in combination with the flash. The flash fires briefly to light the foreground
(subject) while capturing ambient light to reveal more detail in the background. If
Slow Sync flash is not used, the background may appear black or underexposed.
Forced off
The flash is turned off and will not fire regardless of the lighting situation. In low light
situations, the use of a tripod may be required to reduce photo blurring.
Flash function is only available in shooting still images but not available in Burst •
and AEB modes.
