SPECIAL FEATURES Combination of the Two Modes ­ EN Red Eyes in Flash Pictures ­ RED-EYE REDUCTION NIGHT SCENE FLASH Prevents the typical red eyes seen in pictures when shooting at night (see figure 7 on page 126). Both modes cannot be combined with the Spot Metering mode. Closing the lens barrier restores the Auto Flash mode. 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. SETTING THE FLASH MODES No display Auto Flash Red-Eye Reduction Flash Flash-Off Fill-In Night Scene Flash Red-Eye Reduction Night Scene Flash Press the flash mode button ( ). The mode switches in the order shown on the left. The selected mode is displayed on the LCD panel. Do not fire the flash right in front of the eyes of people and animals. Do not point the camera at a motorist and fire the flash. No Flash Allowed or Flash Spoils Atmosphere ­ FLASH-OFF 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. High contrast ­ SPOT METERING Shadow on the Face ­ FILL-IN FLASH 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. 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.
