BASIC IMAGE RECORDING To do this: Have the flash fire automatically when required (Auto Flash) Select this setting: None Turn off the flash (Flash Off) Always fire the flash (Flash On) Fire a pre-flash followed by image recording with flash, reducing the chance of red-eye in the image (Redeye reduction) In this case, the flash fires automatically when required 3. Record the image. IMPORTANT! • The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times when you record an image. The initial flashes are pre-flashes, which the camera uses to obtain information that it uses for exposure settings. The final flash is for recording. Make sure that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases. • Image recording may not be performed if you press the shutter release button while the red operation lamp is flashing. s About Red-eye Reduction Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two preflash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash operation for actual recording of the image. IMPORTANT! Note the following important points when using redeye reduction. • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera during the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter release button, call out to the subjects so they all look at the camera while the pre-flash operation is performed. • Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera. 51
