Flash
Use the flash to take photos when lighting conditions are poor or when there is a
backlight. The following options are available when you tap the flash icon in the
camera screen:
Auto
The camera automatically determines if the lighting conditions require the use of a flash.
Fill flash
Use this setting when the background is brighter than the subject. This removes unwanted dark
shadows.
Red-eye reduction
Reduces the red colour of eyes when taking a photo.
Off
The flash is turned off. Sometimes photo quality can be better without the flash, even if lighting
conditions are poor. Taking a good photo without using the flash requires a steady hand. Use the
self-timer to avoid blurred photos.
Flashlight
A torch or camera light is turned on when you take photos.
Scene selection

using pre-programmed scenes. The camera determines a number of settings for you
to fit the selected scene, ensuring the best possible photo.
