Features That Can Be Set Using the Multi Selector Available Flash Modes U Auto Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim. V Auto with red-eye reduction Suited to pictures of people. This option reduces the "red-eye" phenomenon that caused by the use of flash. W Off Flash will not fire even when lighting is dim. We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dim lighting. X Fill flash Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to "fill-in" (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects. Y Slow sync Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting. Shooting Features C The Flash Mode Setting • The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode. See "Default Settings" (A58) and "Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode" (A52) for more information. • Some flash settings cannot be used with other functions. See "Functions That Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (A62) for more information. • The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. C Red-eye Reduction This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). If the camera detects "red eye" while saving an image, the affected area will be processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved. Note the following when shooting: • More time than usual is required to save images. • Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations. • In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction 54 processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
