Red-eye reduction flash
This mode significantly reduces the
phenomenon of “red-eye” by emitting about 10
pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This
mode works the same as the auto-flash except
for the pre-flashes.
Fill-in flash
The flash fires regardless of available light. This
mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the
subject’s face or for correcting the color shift
produced by artificial lightning (especially
fluorescent light).
It may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
Note:
Flash off
The flash does not fire even in low-light
conditions. Use this mode in situations where
flash photography is not desired or is
prohibited, or when you want to shoot a natural-
looking twilight or night scene. To use this
mode, push the flash back into the camera.
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low-light situations when in
the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from
being blurred by camera shake.
Note:
After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released, so do not
move the camera and hold it firmly.
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the preflashes, or
if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit
effectiveness.
Note:
(Flash mode)/ (Protect) button (Cont.)
The subject’s eyes appear red.
