Setting The Slow Synchro - Canon PowerShot G3 User Manual

Setting the Red-eye Reduction Function
The red-eye reduction lamp fires when the flash is used in dark areas. This prevents
light from reflecting back from the eyes and making them appear red.

• When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right
at the red-eye reduction lamp for this mode to be effective. Try asking them to
look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by shooting with the
lens set to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching
closer to the subject.

Setting the Slow Synchro

You can shoot images using the flash with a slow shutter speed. This helps avoid
dark backgrounds when shooting night scenes or with indoors lighting conditions.
