Available Flash Modes
C
The Flash Mode Setting
• The setting varies with the shooting mode. See “Available Features” ( A56) and “Default Settings”
( A65) for more information.
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions ( A70).
• The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
U Auto
The flash fires automatically when lighting is dim.
V Auto with red-eye reduction
Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash ( A59).
W Off
The flash will not fire.
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark
surroundings.
X Fill flash
The flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
Y Slow sync
Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed.
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.
The flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background
at night or under dim lighting.
