BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

■Flash On

Select (Flash On) as the flash mode when backlighting causes your subject to appear dark, even though there is enough light to keep the flash from firing automatically. This will cause the flash to fire and illuminate your subject whenever you press the shutter button (daylight synchro flash).

■About Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This happens because the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye.

IMPORTANT!

Note the following important points when using red- eye reduction.

•Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera during the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the subjects so they all look at the camera while the pre-flash operation is performed.

•Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera.
