Using the flash

Use the flash according to the subject and lighting conditions.
  1. Tap the flash icon, such as (Auto flash icon).
  2. If required, change the flash setting.
    You can select from among [Auto], [Fill flash], [Red-eye reduction], [Off], and [Flashlight]. When recording videos in the BASIC (Basic) mode, you can turn the flashlight on or off.

Note

  • In the BASIC (Basic) mode, the available settings depend on the capturing mode.

Hint

  • When the background is brighter than the object, use Fill flash to remove unwanted dark shadows.
  • Even if light conditions are poor, try to take photos with and without the flash. Sometimes the quality is better without the flash.
