mode button (2) until the appropriate mode is indicat-
ed.

Autoflash - the flash fires automatically in low-light
and backlit conditions.

Red-eye reduction - multiple flashes are used before
the main flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect
caused by light reflected from the retina. Use in low-
light conditions when taking photographs of people or
animals. The pre-flashes contract the pupils of the sub-
ject’s eyes.

Fill-flash - the flash fires with each exposure regard-
less of the amount of ambient light. Fill-flash can be
used to reduce harsh shadows caused by strong direct
light or sunshine.

Slow sync. - flash and ambient light exposures are
balanced. Use slow sync. when in dark locations to
reveal background details. Ask your subject not to
move after the flash burst; the shutter may still be open
for the background exposure. Because exposures can
be long, the use of a tripod is recommended.

Flash cancel - the flash is down and cannot fire.
