Changing the flash settings

NOTE: Flash settings are preset for each picture-taking mode. Some of the flash settings may not be available in all Capture or SCN modes. When you change to Auto or Red-eye in some of these modes, it becomes the default until you change it.

NOTE: For rapid setting changes, see Using the command dial for rapid setting changes.

Flash mode Flash fires

Auto

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

Redeye

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.)

Slow front sync

Regardless of the shutter speed and right after the shutter fully opens. Only useful when slower shutter speeds are used. For other slow-flash settings, see .

Off

Never.
