When taking pictures against a dark background landscape,
this feature will slow the shutter speed when the flash is
activated.
• Ideal for taking pictures of people against a nightscape.
• Using a slower speed can cause motion blur. We
recommend using a tripod.
The flash is activated twice.
The interval between the first and second flash is longer when [ ] or [ ] is set.
The subject should not move until the second flash is activated.
• The red-eye reduction effect varies depending on the subject and is affected by factors
such as distance from the subject and whether the subject is looking at the camera
during the preliminary flash. In some cases, red-eye reduction may be negligible.
