Cautions
• In [!/#!(Red-eye reduction À ash)], after the pre-À ashes, it takes about 1 second
before the shutter is released. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
• [!/#!(Red-eye reduction À ash)] may not work effectively under some shooting
conditions.
• When the À ash ¿ res, the shutter speed is set to 1/250 sec. or slower. When shooting
a subject against a bright background with the ¿ ll-in À ash, the background may be
overexposed.
.
The À ash ¿ res automatically in low light or
backlight conditions.
The À ash ¿ res regardless of the light conditions.
The À ash does not ¿ re.
This function allows you to reduce the red-eye
phenomenon. In S and M modes, the À ash
always ¿ res.
Slow shutter speeds are used to brighten dimly-lit
backgrounds.
Combines slow synchronization with red-eye
reduction.
The À ash ¿ res just before
the shutter closes to
create trails of light behind
moving light sources.
For users who prefer manual operation. If you
press the INFO button, you can use the dial to
adjust the À ash level.
