AUTOFLASH WITH RED-EYE REDUCTION
The flash will fire a few short bursts before the main
flash burst to reduce red-eye; an effect caused by light
reflected from the retina. Used in low-light condition
when taking photographs of people or animals, the
pre-flashes contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
The flash will fire automatically in low-light or back-lit
situations.
Pre-flash Main flash
Press the flash-mode button until the
autoflash-with-red-eye-reduction indicator
appears on the data panel to set the flash
mode.
• Warn your subject not to move until all the flash
bursts have ended.
FILL-FLASH
The flash fires with each exposure regardless of the
amount of ambient light. Fill-flash can be used to
reduce harsh shadows caused by strong direct light or
sunshine.
Press the flash-mode button until the fill-flash
indicator appears on the data panel to set the
flash mode.
