r : AUTO
The flash is automatically activated
according to the recording condition.
s : 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 photo flash)
by triggering the flash before actually
recording the picture.
After that, the flash is activated for actual
recording again.
The flash goes off twice if you are using
AUTO/Red-eye reduction [s],
Forced ON/Red-eye reduction [q],
and Slow-sync./Red-eye reduction
[u]. The first flash is preparatory.
Do not move until after the second flash.
• Use this when you take pictures of
people in low lighting conditions.
t : 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.
q : Forced ON/Red-eye reduction
• In [PARTY] (P66) or [CANDLE LIGHT]
(P65) in scene mode, the flash mode
is set to Forced ON/Red-eye
reduction.
u : 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 taking pictures of
people in front of a dark
background.
v : Forced OFF
The flash is not activated in any
recording condition.
• Use this when taking pictures in
places where the use of the flash is
not permitted.
