Available Flash Modes U V W X Y Auto The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting. • The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only immediately after the setting is made. Auto with red-eye reduction Reduce "red-eye" in portraits caused by the flash. Off The flash does not fire. • We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dark surroundings. Fill flash The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Slow sync Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting. C The Flash Mode Setting • The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A49). • The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. C Red-eye Reduction Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved. Note the following when shooting: • Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is pressed and when the image is shot. • More time than usual is required to save images. • Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations. • In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again. Shooting Features 45
