• The flash can be fired when the upper indicator glows a steady orange. • The flash may take approximately 10 seconds to charge. Recharging time may vary with the state of the battery charge. Please note that a slow shutter speed will be selected in dark places when the flash is set to off or slow-synchro. Be careful to avoid camera blur under these conditions. • Shooting in Mode Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera blur. • Shooting in or Mode Fix the camera to a tripod to shoot in the or mode since the shutter speed will be slower than in the mode. If an image is dark in mode, reshooting it in mode will make it brighter. Red-Eye Reduction • Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when the flash is used in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-eye reduction mode. For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by shooting with the lens set to the wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. • The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect. If you wish a more immediate shutter response, set the flash setting to any setting other than the red-eye reduction auto setting. 41
