FILL-IN FLASH (FORCED ACTIVATION)

In the Fill-In Flash mode, the flash fires regardless of available light. For
example, this mode can be used to brighten up the subject’s shaded
face. Another use of this mode is to correct the color shift produced by
artificial lights (eg. fluorescent light).

The flash will fire automatically during the first half of a slow shutter
speed’s release duration. It is especially great for taking photographs of
night views.

prevent blurred pictures. Moving subjects will appear blurry when
photographed.
