(ISO 100 • ft) in order to obtain natural-looking
results, even if the lens is set at telephoto, the upper
flash will automatically fire.
Even during macro photography, the flash light
won't be obstructed by the tip of the lens since the
intelligent variable-power flash is placed up and to
the side of the camera. The flash is also capable of
emitting minimal intensity for ideal macro
photography.
Auto-S Flash
The Auto-S Flash mode includes a series of pre-
flashes that reduces the phenomenon of red-eye, in
addition to the same functions as the Auto Flash
mode which prevent camera-shake and insufficient
lighting by automatically firing in dimly lit and dark
conditions when the flash is flipped up. The
phenomenon of red-eye is when subject's eyes
appear red in printed photographs. In this mode, the
camera will start emitting approximately 20 low-
power pre-flashes about a second before the
regular flash.
This contracts pupils, which are wide open in the
dark, significantly reducing red-eye. The pre-flashes
do not decrease the power of the main flash. In
addition, the red-eye reducing effect varies
according to shooting conditions.
Fill-in Flash
Fill-in refers to the auxiliary light that "fills in" areas of
the subject shadowed by the main light source.
Even when the subject is backlit, the IS-2 can shoot
it at the correct exposure using ESP metering or
spot metering, however this may wash out the
background. This happens because the difference
in brightness between that of the subject and the
background is too great. When the Fill-In Flash is
used in such a cases, the subject is lit brightly by
the flash. This minimizes the difference in brightness
between the subject and the background, allowing
both to be shot clearly. This light is also reflected
from the subject's eyes (catch light effect), making
the picture lively.
In this mode, the flash fires no matter what light is
available as long as the flash is flipped up. (Flash
emission in well-lit conditions is called daylight
synchro.)
Electronic Flash G40 (Optional)
The G40 is a dedicated flash for the IS-2 (GN 40,
ISO 100 • m / GN 131, ISO 100 • ft). It is designed
for professional flash photo-effects such as Bounce,
Multi-Flash, and Follow-Synchro.
Bounce photography uses indirect lighting of
subjects by reflecting the flash off the ceiling or wall.
With straight flash photography a strong shadow
often appears behind the subject. By bouncing the
flash, you can obtain soft, well -balanced lighting of
the entire subject. You can also use the built-in flash
together with the G40 for additional affects.
Multi-flash emits the light several times in one
exposure. With this flash mode, continuous
movement, such as a golf swing, can be
photographed sequentially in one frame. It's a
multiple exposure with flash.
With Follow-Synchro mode, the flash fires at the final
point of slow-synchro. For example, the tail-lights of a
moving automobile can be captured on film.
When the IS-2 is equipped with the tele-converter
lens (1.5X) or the wide-converter (0.8X), the built-in
flash cannot be used. We recommend you use the
G40 for such cases.
Note: In the Super Macro and 1:1 Macro modes, the
Electronic Flash G40 does not fire except in the
Manual Exposure mode.
