FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Use this mode for ordinary photography. The
flash fires automatically as required by the
shooting conditions.
xAuto flash mode ZRed-Eye Reduction
Use this mode to ensure that the subject's eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture.
◆Red-Eye Effect◆
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear
red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use
Red-Eye Reduction flash mode to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction mode more effective:
●Get the subjects to look at the camera. ●Get as close as possible to the subjects.
vForced Flash
Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed.
This allows you to take pictures of people at night
that clearly show both your subjects and the
nighttime backdrop.
wNight Scenes (Slow Synchro)
●
!
Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod should
be used to prevent camera shake.
To take the picture with a background brightly
with a main subject in the night, please use the
“8” (Night Scene) photography mode
settings.(➡P.43).
