Red-Eye Reduction Flash Function - ASAHI PENTAX Z-70 Operating Manual

in Flash Function
e Phenomenon
Shooting portraits with flash in a dark environment
often results in the subject's eyes to turn out reddish in
the print. This phenomenon, commonly known as "Red-
Eye", is caused by the reflection of the electric flash in
the retina. It can be reduced by taking a photo in a
bright light condition or by shooting with a wider angle
lens at a closer distance when using a zoom lens, or by
employing the red-eye reduction flash feature. When
using a Pentax dedicated flash unit off the camera, it
may also help to position the flash as far away from the
camera as possible.
Red-eye Reduction Flash Function
This camera includes a red-eye reduction flash function,
which reduces the red-eye phenomenon by the preflash.
With this mode, the preflash is discharged just before
the shutter is released to close the pupil of the eye and
then the main flash is discharged. It can reduce the red-
eye effect.
How to Set
While holding down the red-eye reduction button, turn
the select dial until [®] appears on the LCD panel.
* When the red-eye reduction button is depressed, [Ф]
will appear on the LCD panel.
* When the AF500FTZ is attached and the slave flash
function is in use, the Red-eye reduction flash func-
tion cannot be used as the slave flash is discharged
when the preflash of the built-in flash is discharged.
* When only a dedicated flash is in use and is dis-
charged, the red-eye reduction display on the LCD
panel is disregarded.
How to Cancel
* To cancel the red-eye reduction flash function, while
holding down the red-eye reduction button, turn the
select dial to erase [@®] from the LCD panel.
