B
Shooting When the Flash is Disabled (W) or Lighting is Poor
• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting. Set Vibration
reduction (A 147) to Off from the setup menu (A 139) when using a tripod to stabilize the
camera.
• Pictures taken when the ISO sensitivity is increased may be slightly mottled.
• Noise reduction may be performed for pictures taken at slow shutter speeds. More time than usual
is required to record pictures to which noise reduction is applied.
C
The Flash Indicator
The flash indicator shows flash status when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
• Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try
again.
• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.
If the battery is low, the monitor will turn off, and remain
off, while the flash charges.
C
Flash Mode Setting
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
C
Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). The flash fires repeatedly at
low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if red-
eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is
saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and
the picture being taken, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required.
The time until the picture is stored also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction may not
produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye
may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another flash
mode setting and try again.
