Chapter 4
You can select a flash mode appropriate to the lighting conditions and the
effect you want to achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted
using the flash intensity control (P. 64).
The flash modes are as follows:
Automatically fires in low-light and backlight conditions.
This mode significantly reduces
the phenomenon of “red-eye”
by emitting about 10 pre-
flashes before firing the regular
flash. This mode works the
same as the auto-flash except
for the pre-flashes.
Flash shooting
The subject’s eyes
appear red.
The flash fires regardless of
available light. This mode is
useful for eliminating shadows
on the subject’s face or for
correcting the color shift
produced by artificial lighting
(especially fluorescent light).
Auto-flash
Red-eye reduction flash
● After the pre-flash, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released,
so do not move the camera and hold it firmly after the pre-flash.
● Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the
preflashes, or if the shooting range is too far. Individual physical
characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Note
Fill-in flash
● Fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
