PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

required by the shooting conditions.

conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture

Forced flash
Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against
a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this
mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
Red-eye effect
When using the flash to take a picture of 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 minimize the likelihood of this 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.
v
Suppressed flash
Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor lighting, for
shots taken through glass, and for photography in places
such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the
distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When you
use Suppressed flash, the selected white balance function
(P.61) operates so that natural colors are captured along
with the ambience of the available light.
!
Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in Suppressed
flash mode in the dark condition.
!
See P.123 for information on the camera shake warning.
