Anytime flash mode (See Fig. G-3 — page 28.) Whenever you want to use fill-flash for backlit situations, press the anytime flash button while shooting.

Red-eye reduction

In flash photography, the subject's eyes sometimes appear bright red in color pictures (white in b/w ones) due to a phenomenon known as "red-eye." To counteract this effect, your camera comes with a red-eye reduction lamp. When the shutter release button is pressed lightly, the red-eye reduction lamp lights up, causing the size of the subject's pupil to grow smaller, thus reducing the possibility of red-eye effect. Hold down the shutter release button halfway for a few seconds before pressing the button all the way to fire the flash.
