Taking ordinary pictures
1. Automatic-flash mode in low light
If you don’t see any sign in area “A” of the LCD (see illustration) and the light is low,
the Flash will automatically fire when you press down the Shutter Release. And as
soon as the blinking Flash Sign (

) in the LCD turns off, you can take your next

autoflash picture.

If you want your subject’s eyes to look natural and beautiful...
2. Red-eye reducing mode
Bring out the Red-eye Reducing Mode Sign (

) in the LCD by pressing in the

Exposure Mode Button, then take your picture.

The red-eye reducing mode setting will remain on ever after you turn off the power.

The Autofocus Lamp (next to the Finder Eye-piece) will turn on the moment the Red-eye Re-
ducing Lamp turns on then turn off the instant the Flash fires. Be sure to hold the camera still
while the Autofocus Lamp is on.
