Flash Modes

Besides the auto-flash mode, you can select auto-flash with red-eye reduction, fill flash, or flash off. Choose the flash mode that best suits your subject and surroundings.

Repeatedly press ENTER to view the choices on the LCD panel and to make your selection.

LCD View

Auto flash with red-eye reduction icon

Some people's eyes (and some pets') can reflect flash with a red glow. The flip flash and the red-eye-reduction lamp on the camera help to minimize red eyes in flash pictures.

Auto flash without red-eye reduction icon

Use this feature to take pictures of subjects other than people.

Fill flash icon

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

Flash off icon

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. Use a tripod or place the camera on another firm support, and use high-speed film because the shutter speed in these situations will most likely be slow.

Selecting the flash modes

  1. Completely lift up the lens cover/ flash to uncover the lens and to turn on the camera.

  2. Repeatedly press ENTER until the fill-flash symbol and flash indicator, flash-off indicator, or auto-flash symbol and flash indicator with or without the red-eye- reduction indicator appears on the LCD panel.

  3. Frame your subject within the viewfinder eyepiece

  4. Partially press down the shutter button. When the flash/camera-ready lamp glows green, fully press down the shutter button to take the picture.

The fill-flash and flash-off modes cancel when you turn off the camera, select a different flash mode, or when the camera powers down. The auto-flash modes remain selected in these instances.
