Item Description of settings

it necessary.
ˆ:
AUTO/Red-Eye
Reduction
¢
The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions make
it necessary.
It is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the red-eye
phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then
activated again for the actual recording.
• Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting
conditions.
‰: Forced Flash ON
Š:
Forced ON/Red-Eye
Reduction
¢
The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions.
• Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.
• The flash setting is set to [Š] only when you set [PARTY] or
[CANDLE LIGHT] in Scene Mode. (P92)
‹:
Slow sync./Red-Eye
Reduction
¢
If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this feature will
slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark
background landscape will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the
red-eye phenomenon.
• Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark
background.
• Using a slower speed can cause motion blur. Using a tripod can
enhance your photos.
Œ:
Forced Flash OFF
The flash is not activated in any recording conditions.
• Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of the
flash is not permitted.
