■ Flash settings
Select one of the settings below.
•
AUTO FLASH
The flash fires automatically when the camera
recognizes it is dark. Recommended in most
situations.
•
FORCED FLASH
The flash always fires regardless of the brightness of
the subject. Use this setting for backlit subjects.
•
SUPPRESSED FLASH
The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly
lit. Recommended when using a flash is prohibited.
We recommend you use a tripod when it is dark.
•
SLOW SYNCHRO
As the flash fires with slow shutter (slow synchro) in a
dark place, the background and subject in front of it
are photographed brightly.
Note that the picture may be overexposed if you use
this setting in a bright place.
•
RED EYE & SLOW
This setting minimizes "red-eye", which is caused
by the flash reflecting from the retinas of portrait
subjects when you use flash in a dark place.
When you select this setting, the flash fires several
times as a pre-flash to minimize red-eye.
