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 redeye 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, 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.
