 If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed.
By increasing the ISO speed,  you can extend the flash range.
  In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
If the exposure setting in the viewfi nder blinks, decrease the ISO speed.
 Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away 
from the subject.
If the lens has a hood attached or  you are too close to the subject, 
the bottom of the picture might look dark due to the obstructed flash. 
For important shots, check the im age on the LCD monitor to make 
sure the flash exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).
Using the red-eye reduction lamp  before taking a flash picture can 
reduce red eye.
Red-eye reduction will work in  any shooting mode except   
 .
 Under the [ 1] tab, select [ Red-eye 
On/Off ], then press < 0>. Select 
[On ], then press < 0>.
 
For flash photography, when you 
press the shutter button halfway, the 
red-eye reduction lamp  will light. Then 
when you press t he shutter button 
completely, the picture will be taken.
Shooting Tips
3  Using Red-eye Reduction
 The red-eye reduction feature is most  effective when the subject looks at 
the red-eye reduction lamp, when the  room is well lit, or when you go 
closer to the subject.
 
When you press the shutter but ton halfway, the viewfinder 
display on the bottom will gr adually turn off. For best

E: Changing the AF Mode N
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance 
keeps changing. While you hold do wn the shutter button halfway, 
the subject will be focused continuously.
  The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.
  When the AF point selection (p.66) is automatic, the camera first 
uses the center AF point to focus.  During autofocusing, if the subject 
moves away from the center AF  point, focus tracking continues as 
long as the subject is covered by another AF point.
AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from One-Shot AF to AI Servo 
AF automatically if the still subject starts moving.
  After the subject is focused in the  One-Shot AF mode, if the subject 
starts moving, the camera will  detect the movement and change the 
AF mode automatically  to AI Servo AF.
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
 If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light < o> in the 
viewfinder will blink. If this occurs,  a picture cannot be taken even if the 
shutter button is presse d completely. Recompose  the picture and try to 
focus again. Or see “When  Autofocus Fails” (p.192).
  If the [ 1 Beep ] menu is set to [ Off], the beeper will not sound when 
focus is achieved.
With AI Servo AF, the beeper will no t sound even when focus is achieved. 
Also, the focus confirmation light < o> in the viewfinder will not light.
When focus is achieved in the AI  Focus AF mode with the Servo mode 
active, the beeper will sound softly. Ho wever, the focus confirmation light 
 in the viewfinder will not light.

the eyes.

remain sharp.
  If it is difficult to focus, se lect and use the center AF point.
The center AF point is the most se nsitive among the nine AF points. 
Also, with a fast lens  from f/1.0 to f/2.8, high-precision focusing is 
possible with the center AF point.
  To make it easier to focus a mo ving subject, set the camera to 
automatic AF point selection and AI Servo AF.
First use the center AF point to focus. If the subject moves away 
from the center AF point, the other AF points will continue to focus-
track the subject automatically.
