57 ADVANCED SHOOTING FEATURES Using the Flash Modes Auto-Flash The flash fires automatically in low light or back light conditions. To shoot a subject with back light, position the AF target mark ( ) over the subject in the viewfinder. Red-Eye Reduction Flash The light from the flash may make the subject's eyes appear red in pictures. The Red-Eye Reduction Flash mode reduces this phenomenon. In this mode, the flash emits pre-flashes about 10 times before actually firing. This helps accustom the subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red eye phenomenon. Fill-In Flash Use this mode to fire the flash with every image. In this mode, the flash always fires every time the shutter button is released. This mode is suitable when you need minimize shadows around the subject (such as the shade of tree leaves on the subject's face), in back light condition, or under artificial light such as a fluorescence lamp. Because of the pre-flashes, it takes about one second before the shutter is actually released. Hold the camera securely during this period to prevent camera shake. The fill-in flash effect may not be noticeable under very bright light.

ADVANCED SHOOTING FEATURES
Using the Flash Modes
Auto-Flash
Red-Eye Reduction Flash
The flash fires automatically in low light or back light conditions.
To shoot a subject with back light, position the AF target mark (
)
over the subject in the viewfinder.
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in pictures.
The Red-Eye Reduction Flash mode
reduces this phenomenon.
In this mode, the flash emits
pre-flashes about 10 times before
actually firing. This helps accustom
the subject’s eyes to the bright light
and minimizes the red eye
phenomenon.
Because of the pre-flashes, it takes about one
second before the shutter is actually
released. Hold the camera securely during
this period to prevent camera shake.
Fill-In Flash
Use this mode to fire the flash with
every image.
In this mode, the flash always fires
every time the shutter button is
released. This mode is suitable when
you need minimize shadows around
the subject (such as the shade of tree
leaves on the subject’s face), in back
light condition, or under artificial light
such as a fluorescence lamp.
The fill-in flash effect may not be
noticeable under very bright light.
