TIPS
Flash working range
W (max.): Approx. 0.2 m – 3.8 m (0.7 ft. – 12.5 ft.)
T (max.) : Approx. 0.3 m – 2.2 m (1 ft. – 7.2 ft.)
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash (!)
The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces the red-eye phenomenon by
emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
This helps accustom the subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the
red-eye phenomenon.
Fill-in flash (#)
The flash always fires every time the shutter button is pressed.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as
shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color
shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Flash off ($)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions.
