# Cautions
• In [!/#!(Red-eye reduction  ash)], after the pre- ashes, it takes about 1 second
before the shutter is released. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
• [!/#!(Red-eye reduction  ash)] may not work effectively under some shooting
conditions.
• When the  ash  res, the shutter speed is set to 1/250 sec. or slower. When shooting
a subject against a bright background with the  ll-in  ash, the background may be
overexposed.
