Flash Modes

Page 27 highlights

Flash Modes Mode Function Automatically fires in low-light or backlit conditions (p. 28). Significantly reduces the phenomenon of "red-eye" (when a subject's eyes appear red) (p. 30). Fires regardless of available light (p. 31). Note: Use of the flash is recommended if blinks in the viewfinder when the flash isn't flipped up. Otherwise, the camera will select a long exposure and pictures may be blurred due to camera shake. There is danger of temporarily affecting vision when the flash is fired very close to a person or animal. In the dark, the flash also functions as an autofocus illuminator. When the shutter release button is pressed halfway, the flash emits several brief pre-flashes. When the shutter release button is pressed fully, the flash fires to take the picture. Hold the camera firmly until the picture is taken. 27
