2. If the flash mode switch is pressed once in the “AUTO” mode, the
“ ” mark is selected and the flash mode is changed to the “red-eye re-
duction automatic flash mode”.
In this mode, the fiashlight emits light twice for a shot, namely preliminary
emission and actual emission, to control red-eye phenomenon.
* Since it takes about 0.8 second from preliminary emission to actual
emission of the flashlight, be careful not to shake the camera and to pre-
vent the object from moving during this period.
3. If the flash mode switch is pressed once in the “red-eye reducing auto-
matic flash mode”, the “ ” mark is selected and the flash mode is
changed to the “forced flash mode”. In this mode, the flashlight is actu-
ated at every shooting regardless of darkness or brightness of object.
* Use this forced flash mode to soften a contrast between light and shade
in the picture, for example a contrast between light and shaded parts in
a face when you take a portrait in the sunny outdoors, or when you take
a picture against the light or in artificial light such as a fluorescent lamp,
etc.
* In case of low illuminance, the shutter speed is automatically set at a
low speed and the flashlight is synchronized with it, therefore, it is ad-
vised to use a tripod for camera shake prevention.
