Tips
• When you select Red-Eye Reduction or Red-Eye Reduction with Slow
Sync, the Red-Eye Reduction lamp lights for approximately one second
before the flash fires. Do not move the camera or let the subject move
until the shutter releases. (Red-Eye Reduction is not recommended in
shooting situations where the shutter release is your top priority.)
• With some lenses, light from the Red-Eye Reduction lamp may not reach
the subject’s eyes.
• With Slow Sync and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync, keep the camera
steady to prevent picture blur since the shutter speed is slow. Use of a
tripod is recommended.
• You cannot use Rear-Curtain Sync with a studio flash system since the
correct synchronization cannot be obtained.
