Flash modes are described below.
• AUTO (auto flash): When lighting is poor or subject is backlit, flash pops up
automatically when the shutter-release
button is pressed halfway and fires as required.
• (§) (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. AF-assist lamp lights before flash fires,
reducing "red-eye."
• SLOW (slow sync): Shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting
at
night or under low light. Use to include background lighting in portraits.
• REAR (rear curtain sync): Flash fires just before shutter closes, creating the effect of a
stream
of light behind moving subjects. If this icon is not displayed, flash will fire
immediately after shutter opens.
