Adjusts the amount of flash light.
• The flash level can be set in 1/3 EV increments.
• The value is not displayed on the screen. It is indicated as or .
• To change flash mode, see page 29.
• If the subject is too bright or dark, this adjustment may have no effect.
The flash strobes two or more times before
shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when
using the flash.
• Because it takes about a second until the shutter clicks, hold the camera firmly to prevent the effects of
vibration. Also, do not let the subject move.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired effects depending on individual differences, the distance
to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions. In such a case, you can correct
the red-eye phenomenon using [Retouch] in the viewing menu after shooting (page 67).
• When the Face Detection function is not used, the Red Eye Reduction will not function even when [Auto]
is selected.
