Flash offIf a subject or background is dark, the camera flash will work
automatically and will reduce the red-eye effect by using the red-eye
reduction function.
The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow shutter speed in order to
obtain the correct exposure. We recommend using a tripod for this
function. When you take an image in a condition with poor light, the
camera shake warning indicator (           ) will display on the LCD monitor. The flash fires regardless of available light.  The intensity of the flash will
be controlled, according to the prevailing conditions. The brighter the
background or subject is, the less intense the flash will be.The flash does not fire. Select this mode when capturing images in a place or situation
where flash photography is prohibited. When you capture an image in a poorly lit
condition, the camera shake warning indicator (            ) will display on the LCD monitor.
