B High Temperature Caution

If you are taking images repeatedly with the flash within a short period of time, the flash unit and its surrounding area can become hot. Before lowering the flash, make sure to allow the flash unit and its surrounding area to cool down.

C Lowering the Flash

When not using the flash, gently push to lower the flash until it clicks shut.

C The Flash Mode Setting

•The setting may not be available with some shooting modes.

•The setting applied in the following situations is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.

-When shooting mode A, B, Cor Dis used

-When V(auto with red-eye reduction) is selected in A(auto) mode

C Red-eye Reduction

If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

•More time than usual is required to save images.

•Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.

•In some cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.

C External Flash Unit

When an optional Speedlight or wireless Speedlight commander is attached to the accessory shoe (A1), the built-in flash is set to off. While the picon (Speedlight indicator) is lit on the shooting screen, the Speedlight flash mode is displayed in the monitor.

See “Speedlights (External Flash Unit)” (E108) for more information.
