Shooting Features Available Flash Modes U 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. • Not available in shooting modes A, B, C, and D, and in some scene modes. V Auto with red-eye reduction/Red-eye reduction Reduce "red-eye" in portraits caused by the flash. • Red-eye reduction is used in shooting modes A, B, C, and D to fire the flash whenever a picture is taken. X Fill flash/Standard flash The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. • Standard flash is displayed in shooting modes A, B, C, and D. Y 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. • Not available in shooting modes B and D, and in some scene modes. C The Flash Mode Setting • With some shooting modes, the selectable flash modes may vary, or the flash mode settings may not be available. • For shooting modes A, B, C and D, the setting is saved in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off. C Auto with Red-eye Reduction/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. 36
