SELECTING THE FLASH MODE
The amount of light put out by the flash
is changed to adjust for the brightness
of the subject, the distance, and the
zoom.
/For bright remote scenes, the flash does
not fire.
/Refer to page 40 – 41 about the intelligent
multi-programmed flash for details.
The flash will fire briefly 10 times (pre-
flash), then fire again to take the pic-
ture.
/This mode is kept even when the power is
turned off.
/The AF lamp lights up during the 10 brief
flashes (pre-flashes), then goes off when
the flash fires. Do not move the camera
while AF lamp lights up.

d Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode
Reduce red-eye.
When you photograph a person in dim light using the flash, the eye will
sometimes appear red in the finished photo. Under low light, the pupils
of the eye get bigger for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from
the flash entering the eyes and being reflected back to the lens. Red-
eye reduction causes an early flash to fire before the actual picture is
taken. This causes the eye to get smaller, reducing this reflection.
When the actual flash exposure is made, the degree of reflection is
less, thus reducing red-eye.
When using red-eye reduction mode:
/Ask your subject to look directly into the camera.
/Approach as closely as possible to make your picture.
