Snapshot Tutorial

IMPORTANT!

• Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing

some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil

from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can

become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular

habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

NOTE

• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.

• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too

close.

• Flash charging time (page 127) depends on operating conditions (battery

condition, ambient temperature, etc.).

• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,

which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,

secure the camera with a tripod, etc.

• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with

exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.

• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source

can cause abnormal image colors.

• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash

photograph is prohibited.

Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the

eyes of people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash

reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash

mode, the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the

image to close, which reduces the chance of red eye.

Note the following important points when using red-eye reduction.

• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking

directly at the camera (flash).

• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from

the camera.
