Shooting basics

Using the flash

• After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is

released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.

• Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at

the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual

physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.

Note

 Auto-flash (No indication)

The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.

To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the

subject.

 Red-eye reduction flash ( )

The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the

picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by

emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the

subject’s eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon.

The subject’s eyes appear red.

• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively

bright light.

Note

 Fill-in flash ( )

The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for

eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree

leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by

artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
