C
Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction
The red-eye reduction lamp glows before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect.
Note the following when shooting:
•
Because the red-eye reduction lamp glows, more time than usual is required until the
shutter is released after you press the shutter-release button.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
C
Using a Speedlight (External Flash)
•
The built-in flash does not fire when a Speedlight is attached. Make sure that the built-in
flash is lowered.
•
Turn the camera off when attaching and detaching a Speedlight.
•
The mode names and function names of Speedlights may differ from those of the built-in
flash.
•
See “Speedlights (External Flash Units)” (
211) and refer to the documentation provided
with your Speedlight for more information.
