Flash Photography
The
Button
In
(auto),

modes, you can choose from the flash modes listed
in the table below.
To select the flash mode, press
the

played in the monitor.
Mode
How it works
When to use it
Flash Cancel
(off)
Flash will not fire even
when lighting is poor.
Use when subject is outside range
of flash, to capture natural lighting
under dim light, or where use of a
flash is prohibited.
Use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent blurring.
Auto with
red-eye
reduction
Pre-flash fires before
main flash.
This caus-
es subjects’ pupils to
contract before photo
is taken, minimizing
“red-eye” effect
caused by flash re-
flecting from retina.
Use for portraits (works best when
subjects are well within range of
flash and looking at pre-flash).
Note
that red-eye reduction pre-flash
delays shutter release; choose an-
other mode when photographing
moving subjects.
Anytime Flash
(fill flash)
Flash fires whenever
picture is taken.
Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows
and back-lit subjects.
Auto
Flash fires when light-
ing is poor.
Best choice in most circumstances.
Slow sync
Auto flash combined
with slow shutter
speed.
Use to capture both subject and
background at night or under dim
light.
Use of a tripod is recommend-
ed to prevent blurring.
