ADVANCED SHOOTING FEATURES

Using the Flash Modes

Auto-Flash

Red-Eye Reduction Flash

The flash fires automatically in low light or back light conditions.

To shoot a subject with back light, position the AF target mark (

)

over the subject in the viewfinder.

The light from the flash may make the

subject’s eyes appear red in pictures.

The Red-Eye Reduction Flash mode

reduces this phenomenon.

In this mode, the flash emits

pre-flashes about 10 times before

actually firing. This helps accustom

the subject’s eyes to the bright light

and minimizes the red eye

phenomenon.

Because of the pre-flashes, it takes about one

second before the shutter is actually

released. Hold the camera securely during

this period to prevent camera shake.

Fill-In Flash

Use this mode to fire the flash with

every image.

In this mode, the flash always fires

every time the shutter button is

released. This mode is suitable when

you need minimize shadows around

the subject (such as the shade of tree

leaves on the subject’s face), in back

light condition, or under artificial light

such as a fluorescence lamp.

The fill-in flash effect may not be

noticeable under very bright light.
