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 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.

During the continuous shot, AEB and movie clip mode, the flash function will not operate. Take photographs within the flash range. The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly reflective. When taking an image in a poorly lit condtion with the flash, there may be a white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the reflecting of the flash light from the floating matters. It is not camera malfuction.
