second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For
best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the
lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
•Edit images using red-eye correction (=

Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting
is slower.
•Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=

Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.
•Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Menu” (=
