Notes About Shooting with the Flash
When you use the flash at the wide-angle zoom position, the edge of the image may be
dark depending on the shooting distance.
This may be improved by adjusting the zoom slightly to a telephoto position.
C
The Flash Mode Setting
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A59).
For A (auto) mode, the applied setting is saved in the camera's memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C
Red-eye Reduction
If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to
reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
More time than usual is required to save images.
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In
these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
