AUTO-FLASH POSITION (AUTO) The flash automatically fires when the subject is dark. Set the flash switch at AUTO. 1. As you press the shutter button half-way in low-light-level situations, the red lamp on the lefthand side of the viewfinder eyepiece flickers and the flash starts charging. (Only when the film is in the camera) 2. When the red lamp has stopped flickering, repress the shutter button half-way, make sure the red lamp glows solidly (flash-ready indication) and then release the shutter. The flash will start recharging. • To take a fine flash picture, shoot in the flasheffective range shown in the table above. • Even when the green lamp glows, overexposure will be made when the subject is too close to the camera to be within the effective range, or underexposure will be made when the subject is too far away from the camera to be within the effective range. • Taking color pictures of people using flash can cause "red eye," those red dots in the eyes. This is because the flash light enters the eyes and reflects back to the lens from the retina of the eye, and the light will be colored red from the blood vessels in the eye. 15
