SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Red-eye reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause
red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is
caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of
the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode,
the camera fires a pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any
people in the image to close, which reduces the chance of red
eye.
IMPORTANT!
• Note the following important points when using red-eye
reduction.
– Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in
the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).
Before pressing the shu tter button, call out to the
subjects so they all look at the camera.
– Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects
are located far away from the camera.
■ Checking the Flash Mode
The current flash mode is indicated on the monitor screen and
by the operation lamp when you half-press the shutter button.
• You will not be able to take another flash snapshot until the
operating lamp stops flashing orange, which indicates that
charging is complete.
