146                    The “Recording” (Camera icon) Menu Settings



           TIP:  I strongly prefer either using Custom White Balance (Section 5.22.4) or
           shooting RAW and choosing a pleasing white balance at my computer.  I’ve
           never seen a situation where WB bracketing gave me a better result.



           5.8      FLASH MODE

           Menu Position  MENU      2 Flash Mode

           What it Does  Chooses between Auto, Fill Flash, and some specialty flash
           settings
           Recommended Setting  I keep it on “Fill Flash”


           Before  I  discuss  the  various  flash  modes  and  what  they  do,  let  me
           summarize what flash modes are available in what shooting modes:
