Available Flash Modes U V X Y Auto The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting. • The flash mode indicator is only displayed immediately after setting on the shooting screen. Auto with red-eye reduction Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash. Fill flash The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Slow sync Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting. B Notes About Shooting with the Flash When you use the flash at the wide-angle zoom position, the edge of the image may be dark depending on the shooting distance. This may be improved by adjusting the zoom slightly to a telephoto position. C The Flash Mode Setting • The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A59). • For A (auto) mode, the applied setting is saved in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. C Red-eye Reduction If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved. Note the following when shooting: • More time than usual is required to save images. • Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations. • In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again. 48 Shooting Features Flash Mode
