as a mirror or car body

• Subjects photographed through glass

• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur

• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames

• Dark subjects

b RED EYE REDUCTION

This mode is suitable for shooting portraits
in low-light conditions.
Use this mode to minimize red-eye (eyes
appear in red in the finished photo).

MEMO Red-eye effect

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low­light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the
picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting
off the inside of the eye.

d FORCED FLASH

Use this mode in backlit scenes, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting.
In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark
conditions.

C SUPPRESSED FLASH

Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in
Suppressed flash mode in the dark condition.
Any time, flash does not fire.

c SLOW SYNCHRO,
n RED EYE & SLOW

This mode allows you to take pictures of people at night
that clearly show both your subjects and the night time
backdrop. To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.
