Shooting with flash in dark places, the subject’s eyes may
appear red in the picture. This phenomenon is known as “Red-
Eye” and occurs when flash reflects back from the retina. With
the Red-Eye Reduction feature, the camera can contract the
pupils of the subject by lighting for about 1 second before the
flash is fired to reduce the chances of Red-Eye.
Tips on Slow Sync. feature
In low light conditions, slow shutter speed provides better lighting of the background that is out of range of the
flash. When flash synchronization is selected, the flash will be simultaneous with the shutter, that is, the flash
will fire after the shutter is fully open but before it closes.

TAKING PICTURES IN A (APERTURE PRIORITY) MODE
When the camera is set in the aperture-priority mode, it selects a shutter speed to
match the brightness automatically. The larger the number for the aperture value, the
smaller the aperture opens, and consequently the less the amount of light enters. A
larger aperture setting produces a lighter image, while a lower aperture value produces
a darker image.
