§ § § Flash/- Button Program or Stitch Assist Mode: This button switches between the Auto, RedEye Reduction, Flash On and Flash Off functions. • The absence of a flash icon indicates the Auto mode. The flash will automatically respond to the light level detected by the camera. • The icon indicates the Red-Eye Reduction mode. When the flash is required, the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp will light when you press the shutter button. • The icon indicates the Flash On mode. The flash will fire with each shot. • The icon indicates the Flash Off mode. The flash will not fire. • The Red-Eye Reduction mode counteracts the tendency for flash photography to produce the red-eye effect in prints of humans and animals, the result of light reflected back from the subjects' retinas. The flash emitted before the actual shutter operation causes the subjects' irises to narrow in advance, thereby reducing the potential for reflections back from the retinas. • When shooting in the Red-Eye Reduction mode, press the shutter button halfway and wait a moment before pressing it fully. If the interval between pressing the shutter halfway and all the way is too short, the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp may not fire. 51 Buttons

Program or Stitch Assist Mode:
This button switches between the Auto, Red-
Eye Reduction, Flash On and Flash Off
functions.
• The absence of a flash icon
indicates the Auto mode.
The flash will automatically
respond to the light level
detected by the camera.
• The
icon indicates the
Red-Eye Reduction mode.
When the flash is required,
the Red-Eye Reduction
Lamp will light when you
press the shutter button.
• The
icon indicates the
Flash On mode. The flash
will fire with each shot.
• The Red-Eye Reduction mode counter-
acts the tendency for flash photography
to produce the red-eye effect in prints
of humans and animals, the result of
light reflected back from the subjects’
retinas. The flash emitted before the
actual shutter operation causes the
subjects’ irises to narrow in advance,
thereby reducing the potential for
reflections back from the retinas.
• When shooting in the Red-Eye Reduction
mode, press the shutter button halfway
and wait a moment before pressing it
fully. If the interval between pressing
the shutter halfway and all the way is
too short, the Red-Eye Reduction Lamp
may not fire.
