•When you use flash photography at higher ISO speeds, the chances of white streaks appearing in the image increase the closer you approach to the subject.

•Since a slow shutter speed is selected in dark places when the flash is set to Off or Slow Synchro, take care to avoid blurring the image.

-Shooting in Mode

Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera shake.

-Shooting in or Mode

Fix the camera to a tripod to shoot in these modes since the

shutter speed will be slower than in the mode. If an image is

dark in mode, reshooting it in mode will make it brighter.

•The flash can be fired when the indicator lights a steady orange after pressing the shutter button halfway.

•The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to charge. The recharging time will vary with such factors as the shooting conditions and battery charge. Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.

•The flash fires twice. The main flash follows a preparatory pre-flash. The exposure reading obtained from the subject with the pre-flash is used to set the optimal flash intensity for the main flash, which is used to capture the image.

•When using the flash, be sure to shoot from at least 46 cm (1.5 ft.) away from your subject for standard photography and at least 30 cm (1.0 ft.) for macro photography.

Red-eye Reduction

•Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when the flash is used in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-eye reduction mode. For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.

•The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red- eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect (excluding

when using the quick shot function). If you want a more immediate shutter response, set the flash to , or .
