Using flash # The camera is initially set to Auto-flash, but you can select from the following four flash modes according to the shooting conditions. Auto-flash (Factory default setting) The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. !Red-eye reduction flash 1 The light from the flash may make the subject's eyes appear red in pictures taken in dark places. The red-eye reduction flash mode [!] reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon. Taking Pictures After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second until the picture is taken. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement. Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or if the subject is too far from the camera. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness. #Fill-in flash The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). $Flash off The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in places such as art museums where flash photography is prohibited. Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera movement. 23

Taking Pictures
Using flash
#
The camera is initially set to Auto-flash, but you can select from the
following four flash modes according to the shooting conditions.
Auto-flash (Factory default setting)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
!
Red-eye reduction flash
The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in
pictures taken in dark places. The red-eye reduction flash mode [
!
]
reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light
and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.
After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second until the picture is taken. Hold
the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-
flashes, or if the subject is too far from the camera. Individual physical
characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
#
Fill-in flash
The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced
by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
$
Flash off
The flash does not fire even in low-light conditions. Use this mode in
places such as art museums where flash photography is prohibited.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations
when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent
camera movement.
