Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Using the Flash The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 8.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 26 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about 0.5 to 4.0 m (1 ft. 8 in. to 13 ft.) (when ISO sensitivity is set to auto). The following flash modes are available. U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor. V Auto with red-eye reduction Reduces "red-eye" in portraits (A 33). W Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor. X Fill flash Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto is combined with slow shutter speed. Suitable for taking portrait images with the night landscape as the background. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light.
