Notes on Flash Usage ID Unsuitable Lens Warning With the F or FA lenses listed below and other F or FA lenses not suitable for use with the built-in flash, ( I on the LCD panel and I (*) 1 in the viewfinder will blink when the shutter release button is pressed halfway down after the flash has been charged. IONLLOOHSI NOLLY1Bd0 DISV9 Lenses wider than 35mm Macro lenses Ignoring this warning and taking a picture will result in vignetting in the four corners of the frame or semicircular vignetting at the bottom of the picture. For lenses other than FA and F lenses, these indicators do not blink. • Using a Pentax function, you can suppress discharge of the flash if an inappropriate lens is used. (See Page 89.) • Do not use a lens hood as it may obstruct the path of the light coming from the flash. • When shooting at a focal length of 35mm, do not take pictures at a distance less than lm because light may be distributed unevenly. • With FA 28 - 105mm zoom lenses, use of the built-in flash in the wide-angle range (40mm or shorter focal length) may result in semicircular vignetting at the bottom of the frame. About "Red-Eye" The so-called "red-eye effect" occurs when taking pictures with flash in a dark environment, and it is caused by light reflecting off the retinas of subjects' eyes. You cannot completely avoid it, but it can be reduced by taking your pictures in a brighter place or by shooting wide angle at a closer distance when using a zoom lens. When using a Pentax dedicated flash unit, red-eye can also be reduced by positioning the flash as far from the camera as possible.

About
"Red
-Eye"
The
so-called
"red
-eye
effect"
occurs
when
taking
pictures
with
flash
in
a
dark
environment,
and
it
is
caused
by
light
reflecting
off
the
retinas
of
subjects'
eyes.
You
cannot
completely
avoid
it,
but
it
can
be
reduced
by
taking
your
pictures
in
a
brighter
place
or
by
shooting
wide
angle
at
a
closer
distance
when
using
a
zoom
lens.
When
using
a
Pentax
dedicated
flash
unit,
red
-eye
can
also
be
reduced
by
positioning
the
flash
as
far
from
the
camera
as
possible.
