FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes
appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the
eye. Use Red-Eye Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:
h Get the subjects to look at the camera.

Auto Flash

Use this mode for ordinary shots. The flash fires
automatically according to the photography
conditions.

Red-Eye Reduction

Use this mode to ensure that the subject's eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture.
!
In the " " and " " modes, the flash fires automatically
according to the photography conditions.
h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Forced Flash

Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

Slow Synchro

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter
speed. This allows you to take pictures of people
at night that clearly show both your subjects and
the nighttime backdrop.

Red-Eye Reduction + Slow Synchro

Use this mode for slow synchro shots with red-
eye reduction.
!
The image may be overexposed when you shoot bright
scenes.
!
Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod should be
used to prevent camera shake.
To take a picture of a main subject at night with
the background brightly lit, please use the "
mode " " (Night Scene) settings ( P.34).
