Using the flash

Use the flash when you take pictures at night, indoors, or outdoors in heavy shadows.

Flash range

Wide Angle

2 - 10 ft (0.6 - 3.0 m)

Telephoto

2 - 6 ft (0.6 - 1.8 m)

Turning on the flash

Flash Mode

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 sun is behind the subject). In low light, hold the camera steady or use a tripod.

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.)
