For close subjects, the subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away when using flash.

Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. If the lens has a hood attached or if you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash. If you use a telephoto lens or a fast lens and the built-in flash is still partially obstructed, use an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately).

3Using Red-eye Reduction

Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can reduce red eye. Red-eye reduction will work in any shooting mode except <7> <3> <5> <k>.

Under the [1] tab, select [Red-eye reduc.], then press <0>. Select [Enable], then press <0>.

For flash photography, when you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp will light. Then when you press the shutter button completely, the picture will be taken.

The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at the red- eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you are close to the subject. When you press the shutter button halfway, the

display on the viewfinder bottom will gradually turn off. For best results, take the picture after this display

turns off.

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject.
