Shooting Features
Available Flash Modes
C The Flash Mode Setting
• With some shooting modes, the selectable flash modes may vary, or the flash
mode settings may not be available.
• For shooting modes A, B, C and D, the setting is saved in the camera’s memory
even after the camera is turned off.
C Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the
red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area
is 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 image is shot.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the
image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
