Red Eyes in Flash Pictures –
RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH
When taking flash photos of persons in the dark the flashlight falls into
the wide-open iris. There the flashlight is reflected red from the retina.
The Red-Eye Reduction Flash emits a series of low-power pre-flashes
before the main flash. This gives the subject's eyes a chance to adapt to the
bright light by making the iris smaller. Assuming that the subject looks into
the pre-flashes, the eyes will not appear red in the picture (see figure 3 on
page 126).
• Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter
releases.
• Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:
1. Is not looking at the flash from right in front.
2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.
3. Is too far from the camera.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the individual
characteristics of each subject.
No Flash Allowed or Flash Spoils Atmosphere –
The Flash-Off is needed where flash photos are not allowed or where you
want to keep the twilight or artificial light atmosphere unspoiled (see figure
4 on page 126).
• Since a slow shutter speed (as low as 2 seconds) is selected, use a tripod
to prevent camera-shake.
• Have your subject stay still; otherwise, blurring may result.
Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.
Shadow on the Face –
When taking portrait photos in backlight or underneath a tree or roof,
the subject's face may look too dark. The Fill-In Flash provides just the right
amount of additional light to compensate for the shadow (see figure 5 on
page 126) and for fluorescent light.
• Make sure your subject is within the flash working range (p. 7).
• Fill-in flash becomes ineffective in extremely bright conditions.
Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.
NIGHT SCENE FLASH
City at Night –
When taking a walk in the city at night, you may want to take photos of your
subject in the foreground with the city lights in the background. The Night
Scene Flash takes care of this. The main flash lights the subject in the
foreground while the shutter stays open up to 4 seconds to capture the city
lights. You'll need to secure the camera on a tripod or other support to
prevent camera shake (see figure 6 on page 126).

SPOT METERING
High contrast –
When taking photos in a high contrast environment (e.g. backlight portraits),
the main subject may come out too dark or too bright. To make sure that the
subject is exposed correctly use Spot Metering (see figure 1 on page 2).
Position the spot marks (A) on the area where you want to measure the
light. Press the shutter release button halfway; the green lamp lights and the
focus and exposure are locked on that area. Reframe your subject and
press the shutter release button all the way.
INFINITY
Shooting scenery –
The camera automatically sets the workings distance at infinity. The flash
does not fire except in the Fill-In Flash mode (see figure 2 page 2).
