Shooting Features
Available Flash Modes
C The Flash Mode Setting
• The available flash modes differ depending on the shooting mode. The flash mode
setting may not be available in some shooting modes.
• When the shooting mode is j, k, l, m or M, Auto cannot be selected.
• The setting applied in the following situations is saved in the camera’s memory
even after the camera is turned off.
- When shooting mode j, k, l or m is used
- When V (auto with red-eye reduction) is selected in A (auto) mode
C Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction
The red-eye reduction lamp glows before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect.
In addition, if the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is
processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• Because the red-eye reduction lamp glows, more time than usual is required until
the shutter is released after you press the shutter-release button.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily.
In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
U
Auto
The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.
• The flash mode indicator is only displayed immediately after setting in
the shooting screen.
V
Auto with red-eye reduction/Red-eye reduction
Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash (A37).
• When Red-eye reduction is selected, the flash fires whenever a picture
is taken.
X
Fill flash/Standard flash
The flash fires whenever a picture is taken.
Y
Slow sync
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. Fill
flash fires to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to
capture background at night or under dim lighting.
Z
Rear-curtain sync
Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream
of light behind moving subjects.
