Changing the Flash Mode
Because of the slow shutter speeds (up to 2 seconds) in
dark places in ® and 4<§>B modes you must use a
tripod to keep the camera steady.
When the red-eye reduction lamp lights, shutter operation
is delayed for approximately 1 second to heighten the
effectiveness of the lamp. To make the shutter operate
immediately, use the ^ <§> button to select AUTO
V
mode
and then take the picture.
Using Red-eye Reduction Function Effectively
When you use the flash to take photos of people in low
light conditions, their eyes sometimes glow red in the
photograph. This is referred to as the red-eye effect and
is caused by the light of the flash being reflected off the
retina of the eye.
When the red-eye reduction operates, the red-eye
reduction lamp lights for approximately 1 second before
the flash fires. This causes the subject's pupils to
cohtract, minimizing the risk of red-eye.
(D Take the picture from within 2 m/6.6 ft. of your subject.
(D Attract the subject's attention so that he or she looks at
the camera.
• The effectiveness of the red-eye reduction function
varies from person to person.
• Set the lens to the wide-angle position.
• Raise the available light level as much as possible.
