Description

Auto

The flash fires automatically according to the ambient light conditions. In

some Scene modes (for example Portrait), Red-Eye Reduction is auto-

matically selected.

Red-Eye

Reduction

The flash fires several times in quick succession before firing the main

flash. This helps to avoid the phenomenon of eye pupils appearing red in

photographs.

Forced On

The flash fires regardless of the light conditions. Select this setting to take

photos of high contrast subjects (back lighting) or dark shadows.

Off

The flash does not fire. Choose this setting when taking photos in areas

where flash photography is prohibited, or when the distance to the sub-

ject is beyond the effective range of the flash.

Note

•

You can change the flash setting only when the Scene mode is set to Auto

.

•

In Continuous Shot mode (see page 16), the flash is set to Off

.

•

Do not use the flash at close distances from young children.

Note

•

The zoom function is disabled when the image size is set to 6M

. See “Image Size” on

page 17.
