Precautions in Automatic Flash Modes
*
In some cases, automatic flash may
not be suited to your subject If, for
instance, your main subject is small
with a darker distant background or if
the subject’s surroundings are bright
white with strong reflections, automa
tic flash exposure may be affected by
a contrasting background, causing
under- or overexposure of the sub
ject This can be avoided by switching
to manual flash (see pp 23-24)
•
In delayed flash with the camera's
self-timer, do not press the shutter
release button until the pilot lamp
glows.
•
When the shooting distance is less
than one meter, the difference be
tween the optical axis of the lens and
the flash may result in uneven flash
distribution.
