Flashlight
Keep a safe distance when using the flash. Do not use the
flash on people or animals at close range. Do not cover the
flash while taking a picture.
The camera has an LED flashlight for low light conditions.
The following flashlight modes are available: Automatic
(), Red eye redu. (), Forced (), and Off ().
Select Options > Image setup > Flash > Forced to use
the flashlight.
If the flashlight is set to Off or Automatic during bright
conditions, the flashlight still emits a low light when an
image is captured. This allows the subject of the picture to
see when the picture is taken. There is no flashlight effect
on the resultant picture.
If the flashlight is set to Red eye redu., it decreases the
redness of the eyes in the picture.
