| AUTO FLASH | The camera determines the need for a flash | |
|
|
|
|

| reduction minimizes the occurrence of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| pictures of people or animals by emitting several |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| short flashes to condition the subject’s eyes to |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| the flash, followed by a final flash to take the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |

| picture. If you are photographing people, tell |
|
