RED EYE REDUCING FLASH

Significantly reduces thephenomenon of "red-eye"(when a subject's eyesappear red in flashphotography).

In the flash mode, the camerawill fire a series of low-power pre-flashes before the regular flash.

Red-eye reduction may notbe effective when thesubject:

Is not looking at the flash fromthe right front.Is not watching the pre-flashes.Is too far from the camera.

29

The effectiveness of red-eyereduction varies depending onthe individual characteristics ofsubjects.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to hold thecamera still until the shutterreleases. It takes approximatelyone second.

30

OFF (FLASH OVERRIDE)

When you don't want theflash to fire even in the darkor when you want to shootsuch subjects as fireworks.

Use this mode in situationswhere flash photography is notdesired or is prohibited or intwilight or night scenes.

Note: Since a slow shutter speed(down to 1 second) isautomatically selected in low-light situations, the use of atripod is recommended. Closingthe lens barrier restores the AutoFlash mode.

32

When you want the flash tofire for each shot.

The flash fires regardless ofavailable light. Use this mode tocompensate for a shadow caston the subject's face (such asthe shadow of a tree). It is alsoused when shooting in backlitconditions or under artificiallighting (such as fluorescentlight). Use this mode within theflash working range (p. 28).Closing the lens barrier restoresthe Auto Flash mode.

Lowtemperatures, even within thisrange, may sometimes causedeterioration in batteryperformance, temporarilydisabling the camera.

44

When transporting the camerafrom a cold place to a warmplace or in the event of asudden temperature change,put the camera into a plasticbag. This allows the camera'stemperature to change slowly.Once the camera has adjustedto the new temperature, youcan remove it from the bag anduse it.
