Flash Photography
The built-in flash or an EOS-
dedicated, EX-series Speedlite 
enables E-TTL II autoflash 
(evaluative flash metering with 
preflash), making flash 
photography as easy as normal 
shooting. The result is natural-
looking flash photos. In the Basic 
Zone modes (except  < 5 >
< 7 >), flash photography is fully 
automatic. In Creative Zone modes, 
flash can be used whenever 
necessary.

Regardless of the light level,  you can press the  button to pop-up 
and fire the built-in flash whenever desired.

When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may 
look red in the image. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash 
reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction 
feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into 
the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil 
reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can 
be set in any shooting mode except  < 5 > .
