Flash System
The D-460 Zoom’s flash system features six versatile flash modes that make it easy for anyone to take great photographs:

• Auto Flash fires automatically in low light or back-light, to help ensure the illumination is appropriate
• Red-Eye Reduction Flash Mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash—reducing the red-eye effect
• Slow Sync Flash Mode for shots requiring long exposure
• Fill-In Flash Mode softens the sharp contrasts, for a more natural look in photos when your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow
• Flash Off Mode is available when flash photography is not permitted or to allow for up to ½ second exposures, for shots like sunsets and night scenes

Software
The D-460 Zoom comes with Olympus Camedia Master software (for downloading images from the camera), and instruction manuals. All software supports both Windows (95/98/NT 4.0) and Macintosh (OS 7.6.x and greater) systems.

Using the imaging software that comes standard with the D-460 Zoom, you can:

• Print, view, and email your photos to family and friends
• Create sweeping panoramas by “stitching together” individual photographs
• Crop, retouch, and manipulate photos on your computer
