FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Flash-Off
FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Fill-In Flash
Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not
desired or is prohibited and in twilight or night scenes.
Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.
앫
Since a slow shutter speed (as low as 2 seconds) is selected, use a
tripod to prevent camera shake.
앫
Have your subject stay still; otherwise, blurring may result.
Use this mode to compensate for a shadow cast on the
subject’s face or to shoot in backlit conditions or under
fluorescent light.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Red-Eye Reduction Flash
A series of low-power pre-flashes before the main flash
accustoms the subject’s eyes to the light and helps prevent
their eyes from appearing red in a photograph.
앫
Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter releases.
앫
Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:
1. Is not looking at the flash from right in front.
2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.
3. Is too far from the camera.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the individual
characteristics of each subject.
Note: When reversal film is used, the working range at the telephoto
side will be reduced by about 30%.
