Auto Mode Using the Flash The flash mode allows you to specify the settings according to shooting conditions. • For L22, the flash has a range of approx. 0.5-7.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-23 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way, and 0.5-3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-9 ft. 10 in.) when the maximum optical zoom is applied. For L21, the flash has a range of approx. 0.55.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.-18 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way, and 0.5-2.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.-8 ft.) when the maximum optical zoom is applied. • Note that when using easy auto mode (A 20), only U Auto (default setting) and W Off are available. When U Auto is applied, the camera automatically selects the optimum flash mode setting for the scene mode it has selected. • The following flash modes are available when shooting in auto mode (A 29) and certain scene modes (A 35). U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. V Auto with red-eye reduction Reduces "red-eye" in portraits (A 31). W Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. X Fill flash Flash fires when a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and back-lit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed.
