FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Red-Eye Reduction Flash

1. Press the shutter release button to

make sure the orange lamp lights.

2. Press the shutter release

button all the way to take
the picture.

Flash working range (with color negative film)

Note: When slide film is used, the working range at the telephoto side

will be reduced by about 40%.

A series of low-power pre-flashes before the main flash
accustoms the subject’s eyes to the light and helps prevent
their eyes from appearing red in a photograph.

Eyes appear red.

ț Hold the camera securely. It takes about 1 second until the shutter releases.

ț 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.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Fill-In Flash

Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not
desired or is prohibited or in twilight or night scenes.

Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.

ț Since a slow shutter speed (as low as 2 seconds) is selected, use a

tripod to prevent camera-shake.

ț Have your subject stay still; otherwise, blurring may result.

Use this mode to compensate for a shadow cast on the
subject’s face or to shoot in backlit conditions or under
fluorescent light.

Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode.

ț Make sure your subject is within the flash working range (p.12).

ț Fill-in flash becomes ineffective in extremely bright conditions.
