Changing the flash settings
NOTE:  Flash settings are pre-set for each picture-taking mode. Some of the flash settings may not be 
available in all Capture or Scene modes. When you change to Auto or Red-eye in some of these 
modes, it becomes the default until you change it.
Flash modesFlash fires
Auto 
FlashWhen the lighting conditions require it.
FillEvery 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.
Red-eyeOnce, 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.)
OffNever
Press the Flash button repeatedly to 
scroll through flash modes

Three manual modes P, A, & S—allow aperture, shutter speed, 
exposure compensation, and ISO speed to be modified in Liveview.
P (Program)—Controls exposure compensation (how much light 
enters the camera) and ISO speed. The camera automatically sets the 
shutter speed and aperture (f-stop) based on the scene lighting. 
Program mode offers the ease of auto shooting with full access to all 
menu options. Press 
  to select settings (see Manual 
modes P, A, and S, page 31). Press the Menu button to change other 
settings.
A (Aperture Priority)—Controls aperture, exposure 
compensation, and ISO speed. Aperture priority mode is primarily 
used to control depth of field (the range of sharpness).
NOTE: The aperture setting may be affected when using optical 
zoom. Press 
  to select settings (see Manual modes P, A, 
and S, page 31). Press the Menu button to change other settings.
S (Shutter Priority)—Controls the shutter speed, exposure 
compensation, and ISO speed. The camera automatically sets the 
aperture for proper exposure. Shutter priority mode is primarily used 
to prevent blur when your subject is moving. To prevent camera 
shake, use a tripod for slow shutter speeds. Press 
  to 
select settings (see Manual modes P, A, and S, page 31). Press the 
Menu button to change other settings.

Manual modes P, A, and S
Settings you change in P, A, or S modes apply only to pictures taken in those modes.
For example, if you change the Color Mode to Sepia while in P, A, or S mode, you still 
retain the default setting of Color for Auto and Scene modes.
NOTE:  The settings, including Flash, are maintained for P, A, and S modes—even when you change modes 
or turn off the camera. Use Reset to Default (see page 35) to reset P, A, or S mode to its default 
setting.
Aperture—also known as f-stop, controls the size 
of the lens opening, which determines the depth of 
field. Smaller f-numbers, for example f/2.8, refer to 
a bigger lens opening. Larger f-numbers, for 
example f/8, refer to a smaller lens opening. 
Larger f-numbers keep the main subject sharp; 
good for landscapes and well-lit conditions. Smaller 
f-numbers are good for portraits and low-light 
conditions. The highest and lowest aperture 
numbers may be affected by optical zoom.
Shutter speed—controls how long the shutter stays open. A shaking hand icon 
 warns of slow shutter speeds. (Use a tripod for slow shutter speeds.)
Exposure Compensation—allows the user to manually adjust the exposure; 
good for controlling backlit or non-standard scenes. If the picture is too light, 
decrease the setting; if it’s too dark, increase the setting.
