2 Taking pictures/videos

Using the flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. Flash settings are limited in some capture modes.

Flash modes

Flash fires

Auto

When the lighting conditions require it.

Off

Never.

Fill

Every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. Use when the subject is in shadow or is "backlit" (when the light is behind the subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

NOTE: (Not available in Smart Capture mode.)

Red-eye Reduction

Preflash

A preflash fires, shrinking the eye pupil, before the picture is taken.

Digital Correction

A preflash does not fire; the camera corrects red eye.
