D Using the Built-in Flash
If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed.
By increasing the ISO speed, you can extend the flash range.
In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks, decrease the ISO
speed.
Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away
from the subject.
If the lens hood is attached or if you are too close to the subject, the
bottom portion of the picture might turn out dark. For important
shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make sure the flash
exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).
Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can
reduce red eye. Red-eye reduction will work in any shooting mode
except <3> <7> <5>.
Under the [1] tab, select [Red-eye
On/Off], then press <0>. Select
[On], then press <0>.
For flash photography, when you
press the shutter button halfway, the
red-eye reduction lamp will light.
Then when you press the shutter
button completely, the picture will be
taken.
Shooting Tips
3 Using Red-eye Reduction
The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at
the red-eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you go
closer to the subject.
When you press the shutter button halfway, the viewfinder display on the
bottom will gradually turn off. For best results, take the picture after this
display turns off.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.
