Pressing the PHOTO button halfway down will detect the lighting condition. Even if it remains raised, the flash will not fire when there is sufficient light. Red-Eye Reduction The red-Eye Reduction flash fires before the main flash fires and reduces the Red-Eye effect. Red-Eye Reduction flash mode is effective when the subjects are within range of the flash and looking toward the flash. A slight delay occurs after the shutter release button is fully pressed, to allow the Red-Eye reduction to take effect. This flash mode is not recommended for fast-moving subjects or long-distance subjects. Fill-In Flash Forces the flash to fire despite the lighting condition. To get finer results, it is recommended to use Fill-In flash mode in backlight conditions and for shaded subjects under sufficient lighting conditions. Slow Sync The shutter speed is set to slow and flash fires at the adjusted shutter speed. Use to capture both subject and background at night or in dim light. Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent a blurred picture. Slow Sync flash mode allows the user to take brighter background as well as brighter subject at night. Flash Cancel Forces the flash not to fire. Public places such as museums may prohibit flashlight use. Notes The flash does not function in CONTINUOUS SHOT mode or in the Camcorder modes. The battery power will be consumed faster with repeated use of the flash. To use the flash again, wait until the flash is fully charged (5 ~ 7 seconds).
