The flash flashes automatically as required by the imagetaking environment's lighting level, and the flash prestrobes before shooting to account for the red-eye phenomenon. IMPORTANT! · Image recording may not be performed if the shutter release button is pressed while the red operation LED is blinking. · You may not be able to achieve the desired results using a flash if the subject is too close or too far away. About Red-eye Reduction Using the flash to record at night or in a room with dim lighting can cause recorded images to show red spots on the eyes of people. This is due to light emitted from the flash reflecting off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations: the first flash is for triggering the irises to close, then the second flash is for Auto Focus operation. And the final flash is for the actual recording of the image. 15 BASIC IMAGE RECORDING The self-timer includes two options: 2-second or 10-second delay of the shutter release after pressing the shutter button. 1.
