• 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).
