¡The flash may take approximately 10 seconds to

charge. Recharging time may vary with the state of the

battery charge.

¡In

mode, the flash fires at full intensity (but less than

full intensity when in macro mode). The flash intensity

is automatically adjusted except in

mode.

¡The flash fires twice. A preparatory pre-flash is followed

by the main flash. The exposure readings obtained from

the subject with the pre-flash are used to set the

optimal flash intensity for the main flash, which is used

to shoot the image.

Red-Eye Reduction

¡Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear

red when the flash is used in dark areas. Under these

conditions, use the red-eye reduction mode*. For this

mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right

at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look

directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained

by shooting with the lens set to the wide-angle position,

increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching

closer to the subject.

* The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after

the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the

effect. If you wish a more immediate shutter response, set

the flash setting to any setting other than the red-eye

reduction auto setting.
