Flash Flash shooting (Auto-flash (No indication) The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. (Red-eye reduction flash (!) The light from the flash may make the subject's eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the redeye phenomenon. 4 The subject's eyes appear red. • After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement. Note • Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness. (Fill-in flash (#) The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). • The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
