Operating the camera 25
English
Flash mode
The flash offers additional light source (usually used in a low-light environment).
You can capture an image using one of the following flash modes.
•In Capture mode, press to toggle among the 4 display modes (standard,
complete, none, and rule of thirds).
• Use the rule of thirds display mode to improve your composition by placing
subjects on at least one of the intersections of these 4 imaginary lines.
• While the shutter is pressed down halfway, the AF area color changes to green,
camera shake warning (appears only if the camera itself detects possible shaking),
aperture, shutter speed and ISO setting are also shown on the screen.
Icon Mode Description
Auto Flash The flash fires automatically based on the
photographic conditions.
Auto Anti Red-
eye
Reduces the red-eye phenomenon when
capturing natural-looking images of people
and animals in low-light conditions. Be sure
to ask the subject to look at the camera lens
or get as close to the camera as possible.
The flash fires automatically based on the
photographic conditions.
Force On The flash always fires regardless of the
surrounding lighting conditions. Select this
mode when capturing images with high
contrast (backlighting) and deep shadows.
Slow Sync Fires the flash immediately at the beginning
of exposure with a longer shutter speed, so
balanced ambient lighting of the foreground
subject and background scene can be
reached in a low-light environment.
Force Off The flash does not fire. Select this mode
when flash photography is prohibited, or
when the distance to the subject is beyond
the effective range of the flash.
