‰ ([Forced Flash On]) The flash is fired every time regardless of the recording

conditions.

• Use these modes when your subject is back-lit or under

fluorescent light.

Red-Eye])

([Slow Sync.]) When taking pictures of dark subjects, this feature will slow the

shutter speed when the flash is fired. Dark background

landscape will appear brighter.

• Use these modes when you take pictures of people in

front of a dark background.

• Using a slower speed can cause motion blur. Using a

tripod can counteract this.
