The setting varies with shooting mode. See “Available Functions” (A60) and “List of the Default

The changed flash mode setting applied in the following situations is saved in the camera’s
memory even after the camera is turned off.
- When shooting mode A, B, C or D is used
- When V (auto with red-eye reduction) is selected in A (Auto) mode
U
Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim.
V
Auto with red-eye reduction
Best choice for portraits. Reduces red-eye effect caused by flash in portraits (A63).
W
Off
Flash does not fire.
Available when the scene mode is x (scene auto selector) or an optional
Speedlight (external flash unit) is attached.
Use of a tripod is recommended to avoid the effects of camera shake when
shooting in a dark location.
X
Fill flash
The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to
“fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.
S
Manual
Flash is forcibly fired at the flash output that is set for the built-in flash.
Choose the flash output from SFull (full flash), S1/2, S1/4, S1/8, S1/16,
S1/32 and S1/64. For example, when S1/16 is chosen, the flash is 1/16 of the
full flash.
Not available when a Speedlight flash unit (available separately) is attached.
Y
Slow sync /Z Rear-curtain sync
Slow sync:
Fill flash is combined with a slow shutter speed.
Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background.
Rear-curtain sync:
Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light
behind moving subjects.
