Red Eye Reduction
The flash strobes two or more times before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when using
flash.
1. MENU
1 [Red Eye Reduction] desired mode
On The flash strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.
Off Does not use [Red Eye Reduction].
What causes the red-eye phenomenon?
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. The flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the
back of the eye (retina) (A), causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.
Other ways to reduce red-eye
If the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image using the software “PlayMemories Home.”
Notes
To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a
second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this
period.
[Red Eye Reduction] may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and
conditions, such as the distance to the subject or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:
In [Sweep Panorama] mode
When
(Night Scene) or (Hand-held Twilight) mode is selected in [Scene Selection].
When the Smile Shutter function is activated.
