• Because it takes about a second until the shutter clicks, hold the camera firmly to prevent the effects of

vibration. Also, do not let the subject move.

• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired effects depending on individual differences, the distance

to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions.
