Using the Flash
Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows. Flash is effective between 1.6-16.7 ft (0.5-5.1 m) in Wide angle and between 2.5-8.5 ft (0.75-2.6 m) in Telephoto.
The flash setting can be changed in any Still mode. The default flash setting is restored when you exit the mode or turn off the camera, except in PAS mode (see Flash Settings In Each Mode).

Auto* (default)—flash fires when the lighting conditions require it. 
Off—flash never fires. 
Fill—flash fires every time you take a picture, regardless of the lighting conditions. 
Red-eye*—flash fires 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.) * The flash may fire, even in bright outdoor conditions, if the background is brighter than your subject.
Flash Settings In Each Mode
For the best possible pictures, flash settings are pre-set for each picture taking mode.
