]/[

]. (P29)

ª Switching the flash setting

: AUTO

The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction

The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.
It reduces the red-eye phenomenon
(eyes of the subject appear red in
photo flash) by lighting the flash
before the actual recording of the
picture.
Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.

: Forced ON

The flash is activated every time
regardless of the recording condition.
Use this when your subject is back-lit
or under fluorescent light.

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction

When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, it makes the
shutter speed slow when the flash is
activated, so that the dark
background landscape will become
bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
Use this when taking pictures of
people in front of a dark background.

: Forced OFF

Even in dark places, the flash is not
activated.
Use this when taking pictures in
places where use of the flash is not
allowed.
