Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with

When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction) or fill flash with slow sync and red-eye
reduction in Night portrait scene mode, the In-
Camera Red Eye Fix processing may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye in rare cases. Use 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 an image again.
