FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Red-Eye Reduction Flash

A series of low-power pre-flashes before the main flash accustoms the subject’s eyes to the light and helps prevent their eyes from appearing red in a photograph.

Eyes appear red.

￿Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter releases.

￿Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:

1.Is not looking at the flash from right in front.

2.Is not watching the pre-flashes.

3.Is too far from the camera.

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the individual characteristics of each subject.

Flash-Off

Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited and in twilight or night scenes.

Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.

￿Since a slow shutter speed (as low as 2 seconds) is selected, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

￿Have your subject stay still; otherwise, blurring may result.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Fill-In Flash

Use this mode to compensate for a shadow cast on the subject’s face or to shoot in backlit conditions or under fluorescent light.

Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.

￿Make sure your subject is within the flash working range (p.12).

￿Fill-in flash becomes ineffective in extremely bright conditions.
