Flash Modes

Besides the auto-flash mode with red-eye reduction (initial default setting of the camera), you can select auto flash without red-eye reduction, fill flash, flash off, or nightview with or without flash. Choose the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings.

Repeatedly press the exposure button to view the choices on the LCD panel.

Auto flash  
Use this feature with or without red-eye reduction to take pictures of scenes with or without people.

Fill flash  
When bright light indoors or outdoors comes from behind the subject (backlighting), dark shadows (especially on faces) may occur. Use fill flash to lighten these shadows and to add sparkle to subject's eyes.

Flash off  
When you do not want to use the flash, especially indoors where flash is prohibited or to capture the ambiance of existing light, use the flash-off feature. The camera warning light "blinks" red to alert you that the shutter speed is slow. In these situations—use high-speed film, place the camera on a tripod or another firm support, and hold your camera steady to take a picture.
