Automatically fires in dark
places, with backlighting
and under fluorescent
lighting (p. 31).
Significantly reduces the
phenomenon of "red-eye"
(when a subject's eyes
appear red) (p. 33).
Fires regardless of
available light (p. 34).
There is danger of temporarily
affecting vision when the flash is
fired very close to a person or
animal.
In the dark, the flash also functions
as an autofocus illuminator. When
the shutter release button is
pressed halfway, the flash emits
several brief pre-flashes. When the
shutter release button is pressed
fully, the flash fires to take the
picture. Hold the camera firmly until
the picture is taken.
Note: Use of the flash is recommended if
blinks in the viewfinder when the flash isn't
flipped up. Otherwise, the camera will select a
long exposure and pictures may be blurred
due to camera shake.
