Flash Off
The flash is disabled, even when lighting is inadequate.
Use this setting for special effects, where flash
photography is prohibited, or for macro mode close-ups.
Red-eye Reduction
Use this setting to eliminate the red-eye effect (the
reddish reflection of the flash off of your subjects
pupils).
Slow Synchronized Flash
To light up the background as well as your subject, use
the leading slow synchronized flash mode when taking
pictures at night. Or, use the trailing slow synchronized
flash mode setting for capturing motion. This option
causes the aperture to stay open longer, allowing more
light to enter the camera. See your User’s Guide to
change this flash setting to leading or trailing.
Note
Slow synchronized flash is available only in the Program or Manual
user modes. See page 11 to change the user mode.
After you take a flash picture, the icon blinks until the flash is
fully recharged. Your flash setting remains in effect even after
you turn off the camera.

The EPSON PhotoPC 3100Z has five image quality
(resolution) settings. Press the image quality button on top of
the camera to cycle from one setting to another.
NOTE
The camera dial must be turned to , , or .
