The following fl ash modes are available:

Using the Flash: Flash Mode

Mode

How it works

Anytime Flash

( fi ll fl ash)

Flash fi res whenever pic-
ture is taken.

Use to “fi ll-in” (illuminate) shadows and
back-lit subjects.

AUTO

Auto

Flash fi res when lighting
is poor.

Best choice in most situations.

Auto with

red-eye

reduction

Flash fi res several times
at low intensity before
main fl ash, reducing
“red-eye.”

Use for portraits. Works best when sub-
ject looks directly at fl ash. Not recom-
mended when quick shutter response is
required.

When to use it

Flash Cancel

(off)

Flash will not fi re even
when lighting is poor.

Use to capture natural lighting under dim
light or where use of fl ash is prohibited.
If

(camera shake) icon appears, care

should be taken to avoid blurring.

Slow sync

Auto fl ash combined with
slow shutter speeds.

Use to capture both subject and back-
ground at night or under dim light. If
(camera shake) icon appears, care should
be taken to avoid blurring.
