The table below will help to choose the appropriate flash mode:
Flash Mode D e s c r i p t i o n
[ ] Fill flash (on) The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding
brightness.
Select this mode for recording images with
high contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
[ ] Flash off The flash will not fire.
Select this mode when taking images in a
place where flash photography is prohibited,
or when the distance to the subject is beyond the
effective range of the flash.
[ A ] Automatic flash The flash fires automatically according to the ambient
lighting conditions.
Select this mode for general photography.
[ A ] Red-eye reduction The flash emits a precursor-flash before the main
flash fires. This causes the pupil in the human eye to
constrict, reducing the red-eye phenomenon.
Select this mode when taking images of people and
animals in low-light conditions.
Note:
In [ ] Macro mode and [ ] Landscape mode, flash photography is not possible.
In [ ] Night Scene mode, flash photography will automatically detect the ambient lighting. If the surrounding
brightness is low, the flash will fire to [ A ] Red-eye reduction.
In [ ] Sports mode, Flash mode is automatically set to [ ] Flash off.
