the real flash which finishes the shot.
• Until the real flash comes on, do not move the camera or let the subject move.
• If the subject is not facing the pre-flash or final flash, or the distance to the subject
is too far, the red-eye reduction effect may not be apparent.
• The flash is in the AUTO flash mode and will not come on in a bright place.
39

About White Balance
The human eye has the ability to compensate so that it sees white subjects as
white, whatever the light source. Digital cameras and similar devices can also
“see” white subjects as white by first adjusting the colour balance of the ambient
light to match the photo subject. This adjustment is called the White Balance.

Center-weighted metering
In this mode the camera sets the exposure according to the metering for the

of the subject in the center of the frame is desired.
Spot metering
In spot metering the camera measures the light of just the subject in the center of
the frame, and sets the exposure to it. This mode is ideal when the background of
the picture is brighter than the subject, or there is a great deal of contrast between
the two, as the camera allows you to take the photo with the exposure set to the
brightness of your desired subject.
