Using the flash

Shooting basics

Flash off ( )

The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations

where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, or when you want to

shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene.

Night scene ( )

Use this mode when shooting a subject against a night background. In this

mode, the flash is designed for slow shutter speeds, enabling the flash to

brighten the subject and the slow shutter speed to shoot the background,

ensuring both are exposed.

Night scene with red-eye reduction ( )

Use this mode when shooting a portrait against a night background to reduce

the red-eye phenomenon. In this mode, pre-flashes are emitted to counter the

red-eye phenomenon.

The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright

light.

Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light

situations when the flash off, night scene or night scene with red-eye

reduction flash mode is set, the use of a tripod is recommended to

prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera shake. The orange

lamp lights up to warn of camera shake when the flash off mode is set

in low light situations, but you can take pictures. Note that a moving

subject will be blurred.
