Using the flash zAuto-flash (No indication) The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the subject. zRed-eye reduction flash ( ) The light from the flash may make the subject's eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash. This helps accustom the subject's eyes to the bright light and minimizes the red-eye phenomenon. The subject's eyes appear red. 4 • After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released. Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement. Note • Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness. zFill-in flash ( ) The flash fires regardless of the available light. This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on the subject's face (such as shadows from tree leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light). Shooting basics • The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light. Note 63
