The flash strobes two or more times before
shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when
using the flash.
• To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second
after you press the shutter button. Be also 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 distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe. In such a
case, you can correct the red-eye using [Retouch] in the viewing menu after shooting (page 81).
• When the Face Detection function is not used, the flash will not strobe to reduce red-eye phenomenon
even when [Auto] is selected.
