If 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.

In poor light conditions, Safety Flash will help you get a good
image without the use of a flash.
