3. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES SELECTING THE EXPOSURE MODE Turn on the camera and each push of the MODE button changes the exposure mode in the following order: ) Automatic flash for low light situations ) Red-eye reduction flash for more pleasing pictures of people ) Back light compensation flash mode ) Flash-off mode for natural light pictures : Self-timer Mode ( p.35) - Page 32 : no display) Automatic flash at low brightness mode Used for general photography. The flash lamp fires automatically when the brightness of the subject is lower than the predetermined level. ) Red-eye reduction flash mode Reduce red-eye. The red-eye reduction lamp turns on for about 0.7 second, then the camera takes a picture when the flash fires.
- Page 33 Dealing with red-eye When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Red- eye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken.
- Page 34 ) Back light compensation flash mode Use this mode to avoid deep shadows when photographing against the light such as a person standing in front of a window or under a tree with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking flash photographs.
