Automatic Flash Emission
When taking pictures in low light, the flash will
automatically discharge. When the shutter release
button is depressed halfway down in low light, the
red lamp will light up, indicating the flash is ready
to discharge. If the red lamp blinks, this indicates
that the built-in flash is being charged and the
shutter cannot be released. Therefore, make sure
that the red lamp is lit continuously before taking
pictures.

Red-eye
Shooting portraits with the flash may result in
"red-eye", the red dot in your subject's eye. This
camera incorporates a red-eye reduction flash
function which lights up the self-timer lamp for
approx. 1 second before the flash is discharged.
For setting the red-eye reduction flash function,
see page page 22.
