  • Page 34: Effective Flash Range

    The operating range of the film (flash distance) will vary depending upon the film’s sensitivity (ISO speed). When using the flash, keep your subject within the range of the flash as indicated in the chart below. Effective flash range Film speed Wide angle Telephoto (38 mm)

The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 1 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires.
  • Page 36 Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using the flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red.
