Using the flash
Shooting basics
Fill-in flash ( )
The flash fires regardless of the available light.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).
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright
light.
Flash off ( )
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in an art
museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-
looking twilight or night scene.
• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera
movement.
