Icon Mode Description
Auto Flash The flash fires automatically based on the
photographic conditions.
Red-eye
Reduction
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.
Forced 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.
Forced 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.
