n Red-Eye Reduction
Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture. Use this mode for ordinary photography. The
flash fires automatically as required by the
shooting conditions.
To change the flash setting, pop the flash unit up.
Once the flash unit is closed, you cannot change
from the “Suppressed Flash” setting.

Red-Eye Effect
◆
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear
red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use
Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:
h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

screen may disappear and the screen may go dark
because the flash is charging. In this event, the
viewfinder lamp flashes orange.

when it is snowing, the flash may reflect off
snowflakes or floating dust particles so that they
appear as glowing white dots on your image.
