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])
The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording 
conditions.
Use this when your subject is back-lit or under 
fluorescent light.

dark background.
