[iAuto]
¢ 1
[Auto/Red-Eye]¢2
The flash is automatically activated when the recording conditions 
make it necessary.
It is activated once before the actual recording to reduce the 
red-eye phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the 
picture) and then activated again for the actual recording.
•Use this when you take pictures of people in low lighting 
conditions.
‰ [Forced Flash On] The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording 
conditions.
•Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent 
light.
[Slow Sync./
Red-Eye]
¢ 2
If you take a picture with a dark background landscape, this 
feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is activated so 
that the dark background landscape will become bright. 
Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.
•Use this when you take pictures of people in front of a dark 
background.
Π[Forced Flash Off] The flash is not activated in any recording conditions.
•Use this when you take pictures in places where the use of 
flash is not permitted.

•¢2, 3: The shutter speed becomes a maximum of 1 second in the following cases.–When the Optical Image Stabiliser is set to [Off].–When the camera has determined that there is very little jitter when the Optical Image 
Stabiliser is set to [On].
•In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.•In Scene Mode, shutter speed will be different from the above table.
Note
•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the 
heat or lighting from the flash.
•Recording a subject from too close, or without  sufficient flash will not provide the appropriate 
level of exposure, and may result in a picture that is too white or dark.
•When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even 
when you press the shutter button fully.
•If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.•The effects of the flash may not be adequately achieved under the following conditions.–When [Burst] is set to [ ]–When the shutter speed is too fast•It may take time to charge the Flash if you repeatedly take pictures. Take a picture after the 
access indication disappears.
•The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between peopl e. Also, if the subject is far away from the 
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
