Shooting – The Basics
z If the flash is used in macro mode, the
light may not be controlled correctly. In
this case, set a higher ISO sensitivity or
use other light sources instead of using
the flash.
z When shooting with a high ISO
sensitivity and using the flash, there is
more of a chance of overexposure the
closer you are to the subject.
z Please note that a slow shutter speed
will be selected in dark places when the
flash is set to off or slow synchro. Be
careful to avoid camera shake under
these conditions.
Shooting in Mode
Be careful to hold the camera still to
avoid camera shake.
Shooting in , or Mode
Fix the camera to a tripod since the
shutter speed will be slower than in the
mode. If an image is dark in
mode, reshooting in mode will
make it brighter.
z The flash may take approximately 10
seconds to charge. The LCD monitor, if
it is on, will go off after the indicator next
to the viewfinder blinks orange while
recharging. The LCD monitor will come
back on after the indicator lights a
steady orange when recharging is
completed. Recharging time may vary
according to shooting conditions and
battery charge levels.
z The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire
and will be followed by the main flash.
The pre-flash is used by the camera to
obtain the subject’s exposure data so
that the main flash can be set to the
optimal intensity for the shot.
Red-eye Reduction
z Light reflecting back from eyes can
make them appear red when the flash is
used in dark areas. Under these
conditions, use the Auto with red-eye
reduction mode*. For this mode to be
effective, the subject must be looking
right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try
asking them to look directly at the lamp.
