Flash shooting TIPS The # (flash charge) indication blinks. → The flash is charging. Wait until # goes off. Camera movement warning (Auto-flash, red-eye reduction flash, fill-in flash) → When # (camera movement warning) lights, the shutter speed locks at its current level. This helps prevent camera shake problems (shutter speeds that are too slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased, the camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly.
PAGE 61
Flash shooting Auto-flash (No indication) The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions. To shoot a subject with backlight, position the AF target mark over the subject. Red-eye reduction flash (!) The light from the flash may make the subject’s eyes appear red in the picture. The red-eye reduction flash mode significantly reduces this phenomenon by emitting pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
PAGE 62
Flash shooting Flash off ($) The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. Note • Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.
PAGE 63
Flash shooting 2nd curtain (rear curtain) #SLOW2 With 2nd curtain, the flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out. The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode: M mode : 15 sec. P, A, S, m mode : 4 sec.

How to print pictures TIPS Picture size and printing The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots (pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
