Flash Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a backlight. Auto The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash. Fill flash Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark shadows. Off The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the selftimer to avoid blurred photos. Red-eye reduction Reduces the red color of eyes when taking a photo. Self-timer With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function to take self-portraits, or group photos where everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos. On (10 sec.)
