(There are settings that cannot be set 
according to the REC mode. Those

: AUTO

The flash fires automatically according to 
the lighting condition.

: AUTO/Red-eye reduction

The flash fires automatically according to 
the recording situation.
It reduces the red-eye phenomenon (when 
a subject’s eyes appear red in flash light).
Use it when you take pictures of people or 
animals in low lighting conditions.

: Forced ON

The flash fires every time a picture is 
captured.
Use this setting when your subject is 
back-lit or under fluorescent light.

: Slow sync./Red-eye reduction

When you take a picture with a dark 
background landscape, it makes the flash 
fire and the shutter speed slow (from 
1 second to 1/2000th), so that the dark 
background landscape will become bright. 
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye 
phenomenon.
We recommend that you use a tripod.
