more
of
the
following
settings,
as
shown by
the
flash
mode
icon:
•
AUTO
(auto

When lighting is
poor
or
subject
is
backlit, flash
pops
up
automatically
when
shutter-release
button
is
pressed halfway and fires
as
required.
• @(red-eye
reduction):
Use
for portraits. Red-eye reduction lamp lights before flash fires,
reducing "red-eye:'

:
Flash does
not
fire even
when
lighting
is
poor
or
subject
is
backlit.
•
SLOW
(slow

: Shutter speed slows automatically
to
capture background lighting at
night
or
under
low
light.
Use
to
include background
lighting
in portraits.
•
REAR
(rear-curtain
sync):
Flash
fires
just
before shutter closes, creating a stream
of
light
behind
moving
light
sources (below

right).
If
this icon
is
not
displayed, flash will fire
as
the
shutter opens (front-curtain sync;
the

with

light
sources
is
