Tips

•When you select Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approximately one second before the flash fires. Do not move the camera or let the subject move until the shutter releases. (Red-Eye Reduction is not recommended in shooting situations where the shutter release is your top priority.)

•With some lenses, light from the Red-Eye Reduction lamp may not reach the subject’s eyes.

•With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a tripod is recommended.

•You cannot use Rear-Curtain Sync with a studio flash system since the correct synchronization cannot be obtained.
