• Red-Eye Reduction

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.

• Some settings are not available with certain shooting

modes. Please refer to

Functions Available in Each

Shooting Mode (p. 212).

• The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire and will be

followed by the main flash. The pre-flash is used by the
camera to obtain the subject’s exposure data so that the
main flash can be set to the optimal intensity for the
shot.

• When shooting with the flash, the distance between the

camera and the subject should be at least 45 cm (1.5 ft.)
for normal shooting and 25 cm (10 in.) for Macro shooting.

• The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is

1/500 second. The camera automatically resets the
shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is
selected.

• The flash fires with automatic adjustments when

shooting in modes other than the

mode. When

shooting in

mode, the flash fires with the manually

set adjustments.

• In

mode, the [Flash Output] option can be changed

(p. 111).

• Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.
• The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to

charge in some cases. Actual times will vary according
to usage and the battery charge.

• The flash setting is saved when the camera is turned off

in the ,

,

and

Shooting modes.
