Konica Minolta KD-420Z user manual Taking pictures using red-eye reduction, Using the Digital Zoom

Using the Set-up Menu (Cont’d)

Taking pictures using red-eye reduction

-By selecting “RED EYE REDUCTION ON”, you can minimize the “red-eye effect” that causes people's eyes to glow red when flash photography is used. (The default setting is OFF.)

-When you press the shutter button, the pre-flash comes on, followed by the real flash which finishes the shot.

•Until the real flash comes on, do not move the camera or let the subject move.

•If the subject is not facing the pre-flash or final flash, or the distance to the subject is too far, the red-eye reduction effect may not be apparent.

Using the Digital Zoom

-If you select “DIGITAL ZOOM ON”, it can become 2 x zoom furthermore from the maximum magnification of optical zoom, and pictures can be taken. (The default setting is OFF.)

-When using the digital zoom, view the field through the LCD monitor. Because the zoom effect is accomplished electronically, it is not possible to use the viewfinder.

-When shooting movies, the digital zoom function is not available.

To take a picture, press the TELE zoom button until it reaches the end of the optical range, then release the button for a moment, then press and hold the TELE zoom button and the digital zoom is engaged.

• The LCD monitor will display the digital zoom ratio (⋅2).

• To return to normal mode, press the WIDE zoom button.
