function is assigned to the left adjusting dial, it can be
used to directly select the required option.
• The set mode is displayed in the monitor.
Automatic fl ash activation
This is the default mode. The fl ash is automatically activated if
longer exposure times could lead to blurred pictures in poor
lighting conditions.
Automatic fl ash and pre-fl ash activation
To reduce the "red eye" eff ect in photographs of people with fl ash.
If possible, people should not look directly at the camera. As this
eff ect is worsened when the pupils are wide open in conditions of
low lighting, when taking photographs indoors for example, you
should switch on as much room lighting as possible. The pre-fl ash,
which is activated when the shutter release is pressed just before
the main fl ash, narrows the pupils of people looking at the camera
thereby reducing the eff ect.
Manual fl ash activation
For backlit pictures, in which your main subject does not fi ll the
entire frame and is in shadow, or in situations where you want to
moderate high contrasts (e.g. in direct sunlight) (fi ll in fl ash). As
long as this mode is activated, the fl ash will fi re each time you take
a shot, whatever the prevailing lighting conditions. The fl ash power
depends on the metered ambient brightness: in poor light it is the
same as in automatic mode, with a reduced power as the
brightness increases. The fl ash then operates as a fi ll in fl ash, e.g.
to lighten dark shadows in the foreground or backlit subjects,
creating a more balanced lighting eff ect overall.
Manual fl ash and pre-fl ash activation
For a combination of the situations and functions described above.
