BUILT-IN FLASH - SMART FLASH
SETTING THE RED-EYE REDUCTION MODE
Red-eye reduction mode: To make the eye’s iris smaller,
a low-output flash fires right before the picture is taken.
This is to reduce the chances of red eye from occurring in
the subject’s eyes.
Setting the red-eye reduction mode
q
Press the flash mode button until
[
] or [ ] appears on the
LCD panel.
If [
] is selected, press the Flash
pop-up button to activate the built-in
flash on.
Refer to page 86 for Flash mode dis-
play.
When [ ] blinks
When using an F or FA lens not suited for flash photography, [ ] will
blink in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel when the flash is ready
and the shutter release button is pressed halfway down. Taking a pic-
ture with this warning may cause vignetting in the picture corners or
semicircular vignetting at the bottom of the picture.

q

down the flash head to lock it in the
closed position.
AF illuminator
When the shutter release button is pressed halfway down where it is
hard for autofocus to work, such as in a dark place, the built-in flash
discharges continuously to provide illumination, making it easy for the
autofocus to work.
• In the case of using an AF spot beam of an external flash unit such as
the AF360FGZ or AF500FTZ, the AF illuminator of the built-in flash
does not operate.
• The AF illuminator does not operate when the exposure mode is set to
the Action Program Mode [ ] and the focus mode switch is set to MF.
• Since the external flash unit will end up discharging if the AF illuminator
is operated when using the slave function of the AF360FGZ,
AF500FTZ set the focus mode switch to the MF position when using
the sleeve function.
• The AF illuminator may not operate if the batteries become worn down.
• Although varying according to the conditions at the time, the effective
distance of the AF illuminator is roughly 1 to 5 meters.
