Shooting – The Basics
When shooting in any mode other than
mode, the flash fires with automatic
adjustments.
The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire
and will be followed by the main flash.
The pre-flash is used by the camera to
obtain the subject’s exposure data so
that the main flash can be set to the
optimal intensity for the shot.
In
mode, the flash fires with the
manually set adjustments.
The fastest shutter speed for flash
synchronization is 1/500 second. The
camera automatically resets the shutter
speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed
is selected.
In
mode, the [Flash Output] option
can be changed (p. 91).
Shots cannot be taken while the flash is
charging.
The flash may take up to approximately
10 seconds to charge in some cases.
Actual times will vary according to
usage and the battery charge.
The flash setting is saved when the
camera is turned off in the

Red-eye Reduction
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 a wide angle, increasing the
lighting in indoor settings or approaching
closer to the subject.
The red-eye reduction function cannot
be set when the Special Scene mode
(p. 51) is set to
(Fireworks).
