Auto-flash (Factory default setting)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
!Red-eye reduction flash
The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in
pictures taken in dark places. The red-eye reduction flash mode
reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the
regular flash. This helps accustom the subject’s eyes to the bright light
and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.

After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second until the picture is taken. Hold

#Fill-in flash
The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced
by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
