When you set the flash, you can take
pictures using the built-in flash according to
the recording condition.

OPEN] lever.

[
] while the flash is closed.
∫ Switching to the appropriate flash
setting
For the selectable flash settings, refer to
“Available flash settings by recording
mode” on P49.
: 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 the picture) by
triggering the flash before actually
recording the picture. After that, the flash is
activated for actual recording again.
• The flash is activated twice. The first
flash is activated only for a preparation
of actual recording. The subject should
not move until the second flash is
finished.
• 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.
: Forced ON/Red-eye reduction
• The flash setting is set to Forced ON/
Red-eye reduction only when you set
to [CANDLE LIGHT] (P74) and [PARTY]
(P74) in scene mode.
: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction
When you take a picture with a dark
background landscape, this feature 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 you take pictures of
people in front of a dark background.
: Forced OFF
The flash is not activated in any recording
condition.
• Use this when you take pictures in
places where the use of the flash is not
permitted.
