The Flash Mode Setting
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.
• G (easy auto) mode: a (auto)
• A (auto) mode: a (auto)
• Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (A 62)
• F (smart portrait): fixed at a (auto) when Off is selected for Blink proof; c (off) when On is
selected for Blink proof ( A 75)
There are functions with which the flash cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (
A 76) for more information.
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.

Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). To reduce red-eye, a series
of low-intensity pre-flashes fire before the main flash. In addition, if the camera detects red-eye when
a picture is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note
the following when shooting:
• Due to the pre-flashes, there is a longer than usual interval between the time the shutter-release
button is pressed and the time the shutter is released.
• More time than usual is required to record pictures.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction
processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
