RED-EYE

The flash is used as needed. Red-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

eye reduction minimizes the red-

 

 

 

 

 

 

eye appearance in pictures of

 

 

 

 

 

 

people or animals by flashing

 

 

 

 

 

 

twice—once to condition the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

subject’s eyes to the flash, and a

 

 

 

 

 

 

second time to take the picture. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

you are photographing people, tell

 

 

 

 

 

 

them to wait for the second flash

 

 

 

 

 

 

before moving.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLASH ON

The flash will be used in all lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions. The amount of light

 

 

 

 

 

 

provided by the flash will be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adjusted according to the current

 

 

 

 

 

 

lighting conditions. Use this setting

 

 

 

 

 

 

when the lighting for the entire

 

 

 

 

 

 

picture is sufficient, but the lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the subject is not, as in a

 

 

 

 

 

 

backlighting situation. This is

 

 

 

 

 

 

commonly called “fill flash.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLASH OFF

The flash will not be used,

 

 

 

 

 

 

regardless of the lighting

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions. Use this setting in

 

 

 

 

 

 

places where flash photography is

 

 

 

 

 

 

not permitted. If necessary, use a

 

 

 

 

 

 

tripod to hold the camera steady.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To change the flash setting

￿With the camera on, press the FLASH () button repeatedly until the flash setting you want appears on the status LCD. The button cycles through the four available flash settings.
