Select this mode for recording images with high contrast (backlighting ) and deep shadows. The flash will not fire. Select this mode when taking images in a place where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the subject is beyond the effective range of the flash. In Macro mode [ ], flash photography is fixed to Flash Off. In Night Scene mode [ ], flash photography is fixed to Fill Flash (on). 33
