Shooting Features

Available Flash Modes

C The Flash Mode Setting

• The flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.

- See “Default Settings” (A62) for more information.

- See “Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode” (A54) for more information.

• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled (A66).

• The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the

camera is turned off.

C Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).

If the camera detects red-eye when an image is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-

eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

• More time than usual is required to save images.

• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction

processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.

Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

Auto with red-eye reduction

Suited to images of people. This option reduces the “red-eye” phenomenon that

caused by the use of flash.

Off

Flash will not fire even when lighting is dim.

• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dim

lighting.

Fill flash

Flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and

backlit subjects.

Slow sync

Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed.

Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.

Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture

background at night or under dim lighting.
