lighting such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the flash
fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

◆
Red-Eye Effect
◆
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear
red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use
Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:
h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.
Turn the Mode switch to “q”.
