Cautions

• In [

!/#!(Red-eye reduction fl ash)], after the pre-fl ashes, it takes about 1 second

before the shutter is released. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

• [

!/#!(Red-eye reduction fl ash)] may not work effectively under some shooting

conditions.

• When the fl ash fi res, the shutter speed is set to 1/320 sec. or slower. When shooting

a subject against a bright background with the fi ll-in fl ash, the background may be
overexposed.
