RED-EYE REDUCTION REAR FLASH SYNC
With rear flash sync Without rear flash sync
Slow sync flash exposures can appear unnatural because the
motion blur precedes the subject in the final image. Use rear flash
sync to create more natural looking slow shutter speed flash expo-
sures that leave a blur of motion behind the subject.

the accessory flash on, and
turn the flash-mode switch to

When photographing people or animals at night or in other low-light
situations, the effect called red-eye may occur due to the flash
reflecting off the inside of the subject’s eyes. To reduce this effect,
the flash fires a series of small bursts before the main flash burst.
This causes the subject’s pupils to close, greatly reducing the
amount of light which will reflect off the retina.
