When Lighting Is Poor: Using the Flash
The following flash modes are available:
To select the flash mode:
Display Flash menu. Highlight desired mode (to exit without
changing mode, wait for a while or press
the multi selector to left).
Auto with Red-eye Reduction
The E5600/E4600 Auto with red-eye reduction flash function uses an advanced red-eye reduc-
tion method. Several pre-flashes are fired before the main flash to reduce "red-eye." In addi-
tion, if red-eye is detected, the camera will automatically correct it when storing the picture
("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). When using this function, there is a slight delay before you can
press the shutter-release button again for the next shot. Depending on the situation, red-eye
reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other picture areas
may be affected. Choose another flash mode and try again.
Mode How it works When to use it
!#
Auto
Flash fires when lighting is
poor.
Best choice in most situations.
%
Auto with
red-eye
reduction
Flash fires before main
flash, reducing "red-eye."
Use for portraits (works best when sub-
ject is well within range of flash and
looking at pre-flash). When using this
mode, the red-eye reduction function
will also work automatically for the pic-
ture recorded. Not recommended when
quick shutter response is required.
$
Flash Cancel
(off)
Flash will not fire even
when lighting is poor.
Use to capture natural lighting under
dim light or where use of flash is prohib-
ited. If 2 (camera shake) icon appears,
care should be taken to avoid blurring.
!
Anytime Flash
( fill flash)
Flash fires whenever picture
is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.
k
(Slow sync)
Auto flash combined with
slow shutter speeds. Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light.
