optical design innovations. An Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass
lens element reduces color aberration, while two aspherical
elements provide edge-to-edge sharpness and enhanced image
clarity. What’s more, our advanced combination autofocus

Auto Mode
The intelligent variable-power flash fires automatically when
needed, providing soft-flash illumination at close range, and
auto color-balancing flash in artificial light.
Fill-In Mode
Fires the flash with every shot, assuring correct exposure in
high-contrast lighting conditions.
Off Mode
For available-light shooting, or when you are in a location
where flash photography is prohibited.
Red-Eye Reduction Mode
Suppresses unsightly ‘red-eye’ by emitting a series of pre-
flashes that help your subject’s eyes adjust to the bright light of
the main flash.
*Results may vary depending on subject’s eye color and exposure to pre-flash.
Night Scene / Red-Eye Reduction Night Scene Mode
At night, these modes illuminate your subject while ensuring
that lights in the background show up beautifully.
