Using the flip-up flash
Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. You can change the flash setting in most Still modes, except Burst; the default setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera.

When the lighting conditions require it. |
Fill |
Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use when the subject is in shadow or is "backlit" (when the sun is behind the subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod. See Tips for better pictures on Tips for better pictures. |
Red-eye |
Once, so the subject's eyes become accustomed to the flash, then fires again when the picture is taken. (If the lighting conditions require flash but do not require Red-eye reduction, the flash may fire only once.) |
