flash.

Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
When taking pictures with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction in Night portrait (either in easy auto
mode or the Night portrait scene mode), red-eye
reduction may be applied to areas not affected by
red-eye in rare cases. Use auto mode or any scene
mode other than Night portrait, and change the
flash mode to any setting other than V (auto with
red-eye reduction) and try taking a picture again.
