flash unit will recharge and is ready for use once the flash ready indicator

If the indicator does not light up after 15 or more seconds, then fresh batteries

Red-eye reduction: Flash photographs of people or animals in the dark are
very likely to show subjects with red eyes. This happens because the eye
pupils in the dark are wide open and the light from the flash is reflected back
from the retina. The red-eye reduction feature reduces this effect greatly.
Locate the subject in the viewfinder
pre-light for the red-eye reduction
eyes. The pupils will narrow. It takes about a second for the pupils to narrow
as long as you keep the light pointing in the direction of the subject. Press the
shutter release button
. The flash exposure is taken and if you have
followed the instructions in this section correctly, your developed photographs
will show a much reduced red-eye effect.
To ensure good flash photographs, we recommend that you keep a certain
distance from your subject. The recommended distance depends on the film
speed (ISO) and is as follows:
ISO 100 = 1.5 to 2.5 m
ISO 200 = 2 to 3.5 m
ISO 400 = 2.5 to 5 m
