Kyocera NX Light compensation with the internal flash, Sation value, Before taking the photograph

Page 44

“ ” The flash may be set to reduce red-eye (*).

*The pupil of the eye may sometimes appear red (red-eye) when taking photographs of people in dark locations. This setting reduces this problem.

•The flash is lit twice at approximately 0.7 second intervals, and the shutter operated simultaneously with the second flash. Take care to ensure that the camera and the sub- ject remain stationary after the first flash.

•The effects of red-eye reduction differ between individuals.

<2. Light compensation with the internal flash>

The internal flash may be used for light compensation with the camera in the same way as exposure compensation. The compensation range is -3EV to +1EV.

Raise the internal flash and press

the button to select the light compensation setting mode.

Turn the F dial to set the compen-

sation value.

 

•The angle of illumination of the built-in flash is such that the angle of view is covered with a focal length of 28mm. When using wide-angle lenses of less than 28mm the edges of the scene will appear darker.

•When using the built-in flash, always remove the hood before taking photographs. Using the flash with the lens hood in place will restrict illumination of the scene, and the shadow of the hood may appear in some photographs.

•Always stand at least 1m from the subject when using the built-in flash. Photographs may appear darker if the distance to the subject is less than 1m.

•Illumination from the built-in flash is insufficient for use with the Vario-Sonnar 17-35mm F2.8 lens. Use a Contax TLA flash (except the TLA200) with this lens.

•When the distance to the subject is greater than the range of the internal flash, the light may not reach the subject and it will therefore be under exposed. In such cases, use an external Contax TLA flash with a high guide number.

•The built-in flash cannot be used simultaneously with a Contax TLA flash fitted on the accessory shoe.

•Close the internal flash before fitting a Contax TLA flash.

•The compensation value is returned to “0.0” after it is cancelled.
