<2. Red-eye Reduction Auto Flash Mod6> "
This mode reduces the red-eye effect that a flash can sometimes cause in photos of people.
• In this mode, two flashes are tired with a 0.8 second interval between them. The shutter Is released when the
second flash is fired. Be sure not to move the camera or let the subject move after the first flash is tired.
<3. Flash-off Mode> "(J)"
Use this mode when you want to capture the mood a subject conveys at dusk or In a room and you
do not want the flash to fire. This mode provides a natural image since exposure is determined by
the light on the subject.
• Shooting in dark places requires a slow shutter speed (up to 1 sec) and use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent camera shake.
