Available Flash Modes
U Auto
The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.
• The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately after the
setting is made.
V Auto with red-eye reduction
Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash ( E13).
W Off
The flash does 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
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires
when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture
background at night or under dim lighting.
