N Using the Flash (Super-Intelligent Flash)

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the fl ash where fl ash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting
under dim light. A tripod can be used to prevent blurring when lighting is poor.

R If the fl ash will fi re, p will be displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

At slow shutter speeds,

k will appear in the display to warn that pictures may be

blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

R The fl ash may fi re several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until

shooting is complete.

R The fl ash may cause vignetting.

Using the Flash

The fl ash is automatically raised and lowered when the camera
is turned on and off . If the fl ash is lowered manually when the
camera is on, it will remain slightly open so that it can be acti-
vated by manually returning it to the fully raised position.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection (

P 43) and red-eye removal (P 92)

are on, red-eye removal is available in auto (

K; RED EYE REDUC-

TION), fl ash on (

L; FORCED FLASH), and slow sync (M; RED EYE &

SLOW) modes. Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when
light from the fl ash is refl ected from the subject’s retinas as shown in
the illustration at right.
