C Red-eye Reduction
T
his camera uses Advanced Red-Eye Reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix).
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.
Additionally, if the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area will be processed
to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is
pressed and when the shutter is released.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
• In rare cases, areas of the image that are not affected by red-eye may be processed by red-eye
reduction. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
