IMPORTANT!
• When using flash, take
care that the flash window
is not blocked by your
fingers or the camera
strap.
• When the ISO sensitivity
setting is "Auto" (page
123), sensitivity is high
and there is increased
digital noise when flash is
used. Decreasing ISO sensitivity shortens the range of the
flash, but is also reduces digital noise.

Red-eye reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause
red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is
caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of
the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode,
the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any
people in the image to close, which reduces the chance of red
eye.
IMPORTANT!
• Note the following important points when using red-eye
reduction.
– Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in
the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).
Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the
subjects so they all look at the camera.
– Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects
are located far away from the camera.
