Adjusting the Size, Quality Level, Brightness, and Color Tone

•The flash mode is fixed at a (Flash Off) when the shooting mode is set to C (Movie), the drive mode is set to 1(Cont. Shooting), or the focus mode is set to s (Infinity).

•Taking pictures using the flash in dark locations may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. Setting the flash mode to c(Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is an effective way of preventing red eyes. It can be also reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out. If the subject’s eyes still appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by the red-eye compensation function later (p.104).

•Pre-flashes discharge when the flash mode is set to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye).
