z When shooting with the red-eye reduction
function, the subjects must look right at the red-
eye reduction lamp for this mode to be effective.
Try asking them to look directly at the lamp.
Even better results can be obtained by shooting
with the lens set to a wide angle, increasing the
lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer
to the subject.
Setting the Slow Synchro
You can shoot images using the flash with a slow
shutter speed. This helps brighten up dark
backgrounds when shooting night scenes or with
indoors lighting conditions.
